A great experience in your career but no longer a long term one
Pros: Tremendous opportunity to work with major organisations and exciting new ventures. Possibility to find yourself involved with a rich and wide range of work; both in terms of the problem you're trying to solve and the environment in which you're doing so. Meet and work with some fantastic people, smart, creative, fun and driven. Travel the world (if that's your interest) working in many locations and experience a wealth of new cultures.
Cons: If you're not an Auditor, the audit restrictions are a pain. You can see all of your work and investment disappear in an instant due to audit restrictions. Internal bureaucracy and admin is incredible. This is very much a firm run by accountants with outdated performance management models and a dire lack of insightful consideration for how it should be structured. The first few years will be great before you become disillusioned. Then it's a case of plough through onto you become partner and it's no longer your problem.
