Did not like
Pros: Good place to start your career (if you're willing to work extreme amounts of unpaid overtime)
Considered prestigious by other companies/industries
When trying to find another job, people there who previously worked here know the extreme work people have to go through here, which gives you an advantage in their eyes against others who did not work big 4.
You're thrown right into actual work (although without much/any specific training)
Cons: Even if you are efficient and finish all your work on a given day/week/month/year, you will just be given more or even given to another team. Eventually this makes it difficult to motivate yourself to work harder as theres never any end in sight. 
Big chunks of the year you are expected to work at least 55 billable hours a week which often turns into far, far more. Also your rating which determines salary/bonus is mainly dependent on hours worked and there isnt much management acknowledgement or interest in staff that builds efficiency. 
Every promotion appeared to come with more and more work and stress. I did not ever want the job of any of my superiors, all the way to the top, which is why i left. Working in HR would have been nice because they get all the pros of the company without the insane overtime and  crazy work expectations that were often totally dependent on the timing of client deliverables. But as a result HR was one of the most competitive sections of the company to get into. 
Interns have it BY FAR the best as they're paid very high hourly rates, very high OT hourly rates, and get all sorts of trips and perks and events that mostly vanish once starting full time. I made as much in 8 weeks interning working 55 hours a week and no weekends as i did in 6 months working 60-90 hours a week and a lot of weekends.
