Pros

Competitive salary, respectful employees, McLean's office had incredible leaders who care about their employees' growth, great benefits

Cons

Management continued to move the goal post for my promotion to manager and couldn't give me feedback to get to the next step. I also had two bosses that were on very different pages regarding my promotion; one advocated for me and one not. In addition to my role, I took over a Manager's position when she left without a title change or pay bump. It took them a full year to hire a new Manager and they had me, a Senior Associate, lead her training and determine career goals for her. I also heard my boss say many things that violated discrimination laws including "what's their demographic?" when asking about a candidate.

Pros

I spent under 4 years at the firm as a intern to senior associate. It was an amazing experience but I attribute my experience to having an extroverted personality which most people do NOT have going into public accounting. My team in particular was filled with amazing people that invested in you personally and professionally IF you worked hard to cultivate the relationships and grow your professional skillset. I was able to create meaningful relationships outside of the office and have fun at the firm.

Cons

I also attribute my positive experience to having great staff around me. That being said, the people you work with can really make or break you at the firm. There are some people that will demand absolute excellence and you will never be able to satisfy them because there will also be the next busy season filled with the same mannerisms and management styles. I also was not happy with the compensation especially when compared to similar roles at other accounting and tax firms.
