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

Great on Resume! (But then again, who doesn't say that). Lots of Big Office perks. (save on cell phone plans, gym membership discounts, etc). Lots of training (if your in to that sort of thing). They pay for a lot of things (CPA Classes, school, etc). The associates and seniors were pretty laid back and made working fun (as much as it can be I suppose) The pay for an intern was pretty good. Plus you get overtime as an intern. (not as a full-time). Otherwise they'd be paying full-timers for 60+ hours a week all the time.

Cons

Hours are ridiculously long! I mean, I was only an intern so they alway let me go early, but the rest of the full-time folks always stayed until atleast 9ish. Other than that, you have to come in with the mind set that it's going to be long hours, some stressed out folks (during busy season, which for some folks is all the time), and crazy deadlines. Managers in particular have it bad, becuase they're right in the middle of the corporate structure. So they're the most stressed out. Stay away from them during stressfull periods.

Pros

Most of the people have a very good concept of working together as a team to acomplish what seems like unrealistic expectations. Lots of little gifts and perks are given to employees throughout the year, along with many different programs. They also give a lot of vacation time, if you can find the time to use it.

Cons

Work/Life balance goes in spurts certain times of the year expect to dedicate nearly every waking hour to work. Long hours are expected and sometimes seem to go unappreciated. You have little say in what projects you get assigned to but management is pretty good about working around things like docters appointments.
