Can be great if you know what you want out of a Big4 career
Pros: - supportive and guided, but must know who to go to and when to ask for support/guidance
- must have clear career goals to guide portfolio and client allocations 
- great networking and building of key contacts internally and with the client
- unsurpassed ability to travel and be agile given the global reach of Big4 firm
Cons: - Long hours with bad pay (but made up with faster promotions)
- Difficult clients/bosses/team members - everyone is a smartarse
- Constantly under immense pressure to perform/meet deadlines
- Culture promotes client/firm first, self last - no worklife balance
