Great place to start a career.
Pros: Experience gained at a big 4 firm is unparalleled in terms of breadth . Projects can range from internal audits to compliance reviews to consulting engagements of many different kinds.  The firm works hard to find the right place for you and is willing to work with you in terms types of projects as well as travel requests.
Cons: Being such a large firm, the performance review process leaves much to be desired. Ratings are based against set guidelines and reviewed against all colleagues of the same level in the entire region. Ratings are then assigned to each individual by regional leadership. Leadership wants to keep specific ratios of ratings so people get bumped into lower ratings if too many people are initially rated higher.
