Steer clear.
Pros: Fine basic health and dental benefits, the fitness reimbursements are nice. It's good enough to work at a big enough company that most people have heard of.
Cons: Audit is the most thankless job - you're expected to put in 50 chargeable hours, which really means a minimum of 12-hours days (due to the forced meal breaks). It's disgusting that 8am to 8pm is considered a 'short'/regular day. All of the new CPA students now know that since they don't need to do audit to get their work requirements, going into audit is their worst possible choice (you lose the 'Auditor' designation of CPA-Auditor shortly after you leave, anyway). The rules have changed with the new merger - beware.
