Great learning experience, good benefits, smart people, but underpaid for the amount of hours
Pros: - You learn a ton in a short period of time
- Many benefits to working at a huge firm. It's not like a start up where you get free lunch everyday, but I would say you get a nice lunch at least once a week. During busy season all dinners are paid for and sometimes lunch for the whole week as well.
- You get to work with really smart people that have a lot to offer in terms of knowledge and experience. 
- Depending on how proactive you are, you can work on a variety of different clients from large SEC clients to small private clients.
- The opportunity for advancement is there. As long as you're doing a good job, you will systematically keep moving up. There are also opportunities outside of audit which you can pursue. One thing to note about opportunities outside of audit is that they make it seem like it's an easy switch, but it's not. It's actually very difficult. It can be done but you have to be highly rated and the timing has to be right.
Cons: - The hours are way too long for the amount of pay. The hourly rate ends up being pretty low when you calculate it using your actual hours worked.
- Some of the partners/managers only care about the bottom line. Although the firm as a whole says one thing, the individual partners are really what determine your experience at the firm. This could go either way depending on who you're working with. Watch out if you get stuck with someone who only thinks about the bottom line.
