Pros

Some of the people are decent

Cons

Culture from the top down I recognize that I had limited exposure to only one of the practice areas working in Advisory and so my comments pertain to that area. Their GRC, CFO Advisory and Cyber practices are practically non existent with staff and managers spread so thin that everyone is constantly on edge, frustrated or angry ALL THE TIME. The CFO practice is run by a nasty person who will throw you under the bus and then back the bus up over you. The wrong people are running things in this practice as the TS and the Restructuring areas seem to be run by competent people. Although the TS practice has a severe cultural problem at the top. People will miss meetings at which you need information to do your job and then hold you accountable for delays when you can't complete a project because that information was not disseminated to you. I worked there for a little over a year and never once saw anyone smile or laugh. A very sad environment in which to work. A little research on Accounting Today will tell you the company has not increased its revenue in years and this will play out in either layoffs, stagnant pay and bonuses and staff stretched even thinner that it already is. Taking a job here will sour you on this industry for a very long time and I am glad I chose to leave

Pros

A great place to work. Ethical leadership and very educated and motivated coworkers. I was proud to work here.

Cons

Sometimes certain managers on projects may not be up to par. However, a good partner will weed them out eventually.

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.
