Don't expect to be their priority
Pros: You'll learn a lot of technical aspects of the job.
You'll learn how to deal with work under pressure.
Prestige because it's a Big Four firm.
You'll get leadership opportunities.
Cons: Your health and well-being is not a priority. They aren't willing to make the tough decisions to give their employees a decent working environment.

You will work crazy hours for most of the year. It is not an exaggeration to say that going home while the sun is still up will be a nice surprise sometimes.

You will be underpaid. Not in comparison to what other audit firms pay (because they all underpay), but in comparison to people who do their articles outside of public practice. And no, the Big Four prestige doesn't make up for it.
