Pros

Exposure to clients. Yearly promotion.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely determined on your luck, and unfortunately in audit, luck tends to run dry. You can have bad clients, bad seniors or managers or terrible workload...worse if it is all at once. Politics runs amok and I've seen perfectly decent workers punished over minor mistakes and major screw ups hand waved simply because of favoritism. You cant take leave on busy season, which for some is whole year. Expect to sacrifice all your weekends. Kiss goodbye a decent social life. If you're single, expect to remain single. For the hours you work and pay, this job and industry really isn't worth the trouble and stress and it is not improving any time soon if ever. If you're a fresh grad and struggling to find employment like I was in 2020, take this job only as an absolute last resort. As in, you can't even get a SME job. In the mean time, continue to look for better jobs.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
