Pros

A job with competitive pay, large library of resources, access to work on multi-national clients early on, excellent training opportunities, good health benefits, employee appreciation events, cpa exam bonuses, health, vision, dental insurance, 75% 401k matching program, nice facilities, special access to discounts on certain household goods, pre-tax transportation programs

Cons

Management expects that you will be able to work long hours whenever they need you to. The big4 often have an "up or out " attitude. Many young staff people get burned out within the first or second year, contributing to the high turnover rate. The increased turnover rate leads to less capable and willing to help seniors associates.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
