Business outlook
Pros
Challenging work, excellent clientele & early exposure to complex tax issues. Co-workers are very kind and quite easy to get along with. High learning curve with an opportunity to excel quickly.
Cons
No work-life balance observed, just a lot of talk about it. Super long hours during busy season (think a minimum of 70 to 80 true hours, maybe 60 on paper after you eat 10-20 hours to meet unreasonable budgets). No overtime and little reward to staff for long hours. Constant micro-managing from senior management can be a nuisance. Sink or swim environment with only hard skills recognized. Soft skills go unnoticed. Good place for boot camp, but not a long term destination for your career.
