Excellent place to gain experience and create a network of top-notch professionals
Pros: -They invest A LOT in training audit staff 
-Decent pay and performance bonus
-Annual review is very structured and done on time
-Managers provide ongoing training and feedback (at least mine did)
-Some partners have a tradition of taking the team out to a fancy bar/lounge after the engagement comes to an end
-My senior training took place in Europe completely on the company's expense
Cons: -Some managers ask that you not report all the hours you worked on their engagements so they can achieve their KPIs and artificially boost their efficiency, but screw you over during annual review
-Very long hours during busy season, it can reach up to 15 hours a day 7 days a week for 4-5 months stretches. Admittedly though, I often sneak out early during slow season (Not sure if they never found out, or didn't care as long as I complete and file paperwork on time) 
-Stressful working environment
-If you don't have serious time management skills and ability to juggle multiple engagements simultaneously, you're doomed to fail here.

Honestly, the above cons aren't cons, just a reality of working in a Big-4 environment since they're all basically the same.
