Pros

Growth opportunities for entry-level job positions. If you like number crunching and are very detail-oriented person this can be a place where you find your competences being appreciated Quality of people you can meet is often top notch In theory, career path is quite fast and one can achieve management role as quick as after 4-5 years after joining the company

Cons

Working in audit is like working in factory - you are producing tons and tons of documentation. That obviously becomes boring Work tends to be hard in high season (Jan-Mar in Poland), so expect long hours in front of your laptop Quick advancement in the ladder is often at the cost of social life

Pros

The people are the best. I really enjoyed working with some of the most well-round, intelligent people among the Big 4 accounting firms. Culture at the firm is great and team oriented. If you like accounting you will fit right in. There is also a lot of freedom to move from project to project.

Cons

One downside is that there is no clear execution of their corporate strategy. It was difficult hearing about the plan and then not seeing any changes occur. Another downside is that you need to take a very active role in navigating your career at the firm and find your own projects. It is helpful to communicate your career goals to your senior managers and partners, they will take your goals into consideration, but you will get staff where you are needed regardless.

Pros

Does wonders for your resume. It's like serious boot camp for your career. Loads of training/technical development. A ton of intelligent people to learn from constantly. You are always being challenged by both senior management and the clients.

Cons

Same as with all big 4. Long hours with very little incentives. You're essentially on your own and HR is not useful as in a typical company. The pay does not compensate for the work you do, but there's delayed gratification in how much you can make when you leave. Very little work/life balance for those looking to raise a family and have a life outside of work.
