great place to learn, low salaries and very bad work-life balance
Pros: For sure, for someone that just finished univeristy, its the best choice. They give you the opportunity to learn a lot and see many different realities. The work environment is young and full of energy. Due to the fact that busy season is in winter, in summer you can reach even 6 weeks of holidays. Its a Big 4 company: as a consequence, when you perform job interviews for other companies they usually appreciate this background. Its a great school.
Cons: No work-life balance. Some senior managers, managers and partners are so addicted to job that some of them are always into the office, even late night on sundays or during holidays. I honestly think that these people do not have a family, friends or a relationship... they just care about the job. Emails and calls during night time and during holidays. Hours and hours spent in the office, always on saturdays, sometimes on sunday. Some people, if you leave at  7 p.m., ask you (but its a joke, of course) if you have a part-time contract This could be acceptable if you earn lot of money, but the average salary is very very very low... so, in my opinion, its not worth to sacrifice life for an amount of money for which you have to think 12 times before booking a restaurant.
