Pros: Opens doors- having the name and experience on your resume makes you extremely marketable for the next job.  

Good training
Cons: -Work/ Life Balance: DOESN'T EXIST
-Extremely long hours: 80 hr weeks was a norm. Leads to exhaustion, poor work product, burn-out, unhealthiness, unhappiness, turn-over.
-Busy season myth: Clients with off-year ends leads to rolling busy seasons
-Terrible staffing
-Favoritism: Peers can have very different experiences depending on who likes them.  Quality of work/work ethic often disregarded for who "plays the game better".
-Questionable performance mgmt/HR practices: What is written on paper as performance reviews is not what is "discussed" in the gossip session that ranks you against  your peers
