Above all, it depends
Pros: You learn a lot (like drinking water from a fire hose) and you can't beat the access to information and exposure to real businesses for someone just coming out of school. Your colleagues are all intelligent and well motivated, and with promotion the job changes often enough to keep things interesting.
Cons: Long hours, stress, the PCAOB. Did I mention the PCAOB? They're ruining the profession. Otherwise, its a crapshoot. Your experience will be dependent on your clients' size, industry, and disposition, and the 6-8 people you work with the most. It is entirely possible to love one engagement and loathe the next one.
