Great Place to Work.  But its still public accounting
Pros: Great brand recognition.  Very clear and defined career path.  Global organization will give you the ability to work international or move to different locations easily (by easily i mean there is the possibility).  Salary is good not great.  I work with amazing people.  However with such a large firm there are good teams and bad teams.  I have personally had great experiences with my teams.  Simple put, you will work a ton during busy season, but that is what public accountants do.  If you don't want to work, go straight to corporate account. I have found if you work hard and are intelligent, Management (the partners) will look out for you and help you advance your career.
Cons: Like all public accounting jobs the hours suck during busy season (if your unlucky they will also suck in July if you are on a 6/30 year end).  Once you have your CPA you will be underpaid, however if make it to manager your income potential skyrockets (when you leave).  Over all if your spouse/family is okay with you working an extreme amount of hours during busy season the pros out way the cons.
