Pros

Wide exposure it industries and inside issues you would not have the opportunity to see otherwise. High profile client add to the involvement of issues exposed to, but also has its down side.

Cons

Experience, enjoyment, and upward mobility largely dependent on the team on which you are placed and the people you work with. Potential to get stuck in a less than attractive situation with few option.

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.
