Pros

The firm will always encourage ambitious people, great client base, engaging work and generally culturally easy to get along with everyone.

Cons

This is specific to the tax function, but the firm is really going the wrong direction on technology. Competitors are much further ahead on using strong tools. The other big con is the firm is hiring a lot of former big four people directly into leadership roles here, but that can be discouraging to those in the ranks that when opportunities arise the firm is looking to fill the roles elsewhere.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
