Pros

The people. Most of the partners/principals are great. A lot of good opportunity if you volunteer for work/projects. I fought for & got a great flex schedule.

Cons

Salary is fair but I had to fight for each raise. Way overworked due to continual understaffing. Mgmt/partner wouldn't listen until I was burnt out & resigned. I'd go back but I'd draw more clear lines re: workload from the start.

Pros

The pay was competitive and it’s good experience for someone who wants exposure to both public and private audits.

Cons

Work-life balance is not very good. Busy season really never ends. Additionally, performance expectations aren’t consistent and depend on your relationship with your evaluator instead of an established competency model. You can expect superiors to gaslight you into thinking you’re doing well only for the rug to be pulled during formal evaluations. It felt like they expected you to be a mind reader instead of following a specific performance framework. The entire process felt hypocritical. They expected you to ask questions, but if you ask questions they were used against you later.
