EY Russia
Pros: 1. You can learn multitasking and time-management just in a few months.
2. There're some interesting and useful courses with great instructors.
3. Auditing some of the bigger companies provides some insight on business processes of the clients you work on.
4. Some benefits (healthcare insurance, bonuses, discounts, etc.).
5. The Big-4 experience on your CV provides great exit opportunities.
Cons: 1. Unhealthy (!) amount of work, walking out of the office at the late evening is common. 
2. Assessment of you work is based on your relationships with higher-ups in a lot of cases.
3. If your project's budget is low you're expected to work over billable hours anyway even though the firm's rules are against it.
4. Your annual bonus isn't based solely on your performance and might be lower than you expect it to be.
5. Hypocrisy is common everywhere. The amount of workload leads to people spreading gossips about each other as they have not enough free time outside of the job, I believe.
