Big 4 is what you make of it
Pros: - You are thrown in front of a client and tasked as an expert from day 1 and you are forced to do the seniors job within your first 6 months of grad. This in itself is a pro and con - but the steep learning curve and opportunities of growth that come along with it is truly something. 
- It sucks when you're in the storm but once you're out of it - you're only better for it. 
- You will come across amazingly talented and smart people - learn and absorb like a sponge from them. 
- You will find a work bestie(s) who become your friends for life.
Cons: - The career hurdles faced due to under resourcing & management politics can be very apparent in small teams and as you rise up in ranks. 
- Under resourcing is the norm, and it will be inherent in any professional services firm. 
- Old school management who are resistant to change and unwilling to take risks of giving someone a new experience vs convinience (ie- someone who has done the type of job before)
