Pros

- Great place for college graduates to begin their professional careers. - Very accommodating for working mothers. - Strong support network for LGBT community.

Cons

- Lack of cultural, ethnic, and racial diversity in most offices. - Significant imbalance when it comes to compensation and bonuses. Pay variances can be as high as $100K for employees with the same level of experience. - Management does not seem to promote a culture of client / employee confidentiality. - Although the firm has received positive ratings in various third-party employment surveys, still considered the least attractive of the Big Four. - As with most professional services firms, there's a lot of favoritism.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
