Pros

People you work with, flexible working, remote working, good salary

Cons

Lack of progression. People in leadership positions lack the technical skills to work in the software engineering arena. You are pressured to fill in your timesheet with billable work even if you have done any. There are lots of people with manager in their job title e.g assistant manager even though they don’t manage anyone. I suspect this is for their clients so they can bill them more.

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.
