Depends on the team
Pros: You have the opportunity to work with large, public companies. You are surrounded by intelligent people that encourage innovation, but I have never felt like I need to “compete” against coworkers. My coworkers are what keep me at EY - I work on some great engagements with solid people, all the way from staff to partner. My managers care about supporting my personal goals, and are great mentors. The pay is fair, though... [see cons]
Cons: You will work. A lot. If you don’t enjoy what you do, you can’t make it. I don’t have a family, but I could see how it would be difficult to juggle family life with the work schedule. I was prepared for a crazy busy season, working 24/7 for 2 months... but busy season ends up bleeding into the rest of the year, depending on your engagements.

Also... it seems like a lot of the internal HR sites are really clunky, and some of the tech we use seems prehistoric.
