Pros

-Smart dress policy…translation…wear jeans everyday unless at a client site. -Exposure to clients happens early and often - All stages of the audit from start to finish are visible -You will eat well during busy season -Renovated office space

Cons

-There is little to no training typically. Your first assignment will most likely be a sink or swim experience with little to no guidance because no one has the time to train you properly. - Your life will take a back seat to work. There is no balance here and it is mostly all for show. “We work hard” is a more valued statement than “We work smart.” -Every job is a fire drill. Each assignment you get is the absolute most important thing and needs to be finished as soon as possible because the client already isn’t happy and you will need to drop everything and get to work! Oh and at any given time you will have multiple assignments like this and the managers won’t coordinate with one another, they’ll expect you to do that. -You are replaceable and management will let you know this and treat you as such. At least pretend like we aren’t. -Everyone is extremely passive aggressive. -Everything is for show but there is no substance, primarily the hourly expectations and showing up for “team building” events. -Communication without results is the norm. -Managers are subject matter experts but they will not manage anything. They will throw you under the bus. -Office politics is high school all over again except much pettier.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
