IT Advisory
Pros: Good place to start your career.  It allows you access to see what it is like to work at various companies while you audit them.  This company / position will teach you a lot about important compliance related topics and how they apply to various business.
Cons: They budgets are usually un-realistic.  Managers want staff to work extra hard to reduce the risk to the firm, while they agree with clients to reduce the number of hours in our budgets.  This causes many engagements to have too much to do and not enough time to finish it in.

Also, the biggest thing is that most of the Directors & Managers in IT Advisory in OC are old CPA accounting personnel who don't know a thing about IT.  It was laughable how many IT managers had to be educated by their staff regarding basic IT principles.
