Pros: Great name on your resume. If you work with the right people, you are golden and can have really amazing opportunities. A large firm with global outreach.  Lot of opportunities if you are able to network and connect with the right people.
Cons: Benefits are not amazing as compared to other Big4 accounting firms. Wages are generally not on par with competitors. If you are unlucky and work on engagements where you have no sponsor (someone who looks out for you), you are basically screwed. There is so much politics!!! Utilization is very big. People work a lot and eat time because there is pressure from management to meet or exceeds margins. Utilize team in India significantly without providing adequate support for the team. Staff in the U.S. are not getting a well diversified experience due to not getting meaningful work. With that said, if you have a sponsor - they will look out for you and you'll get great opportunities.
