Great Career Starter
Pros: Working in the Big 4 is a huge career boost. You learn so much so fast. You work with exceptional, highly motivated people. It's truly a one of a kind experience.
Cons: The coworkers at my level were very friendly and great to work with. Some of the upper management seemed a bit  stuck up. You can get quite lucky or unlucky based on your team and audit location. It's common knowledge the hours get long, but that's the sacrifice you make for great early career experience. Expectations are high and patience runs short. Work life balance is tough. I think the key to surviving the Big 4 is a healthy lifestyle.
