Excellent starting point for career.
Pros: Great opportunities when leaving the firm. Big 4 are known around the world and offer a lot of potential for making the most of your career. Everyone is very intelligent, helpful and supportive. You really notice this when you go out to clients and talk with people and realize the level of incompetence some companies hire people at. If your into traveling your going to do a lot of it (on the advisory side). I would say I travel 70%-90% of my time.
Cons: The hours can get pretty ruff at times. Work life balance is just a buzz word thrown around by HR and partners. The raises are above what you would find in the private industry and can range between 9%-15% but in today's economy that might be changing.
