Pros

Career advancement opportunities, and an obvious path for progression. The reputation you gain from working in an international company, and the opportunities for secondments in the long term Responsiblity is given straight off the bat, and the benefits can be very good.

Cons

Hours can be long and unsociable. You are also 'expected' to put long hours in, even some weekends. Culture differs from office to office, meaning some of your peers could have accomplished more than you have because they work in smaller offices, and are exposed to more. You sometimes feel like cog in a big wheel.

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.
