Pros

Great benefits and lots of flexibility. Working remotely is great but does have its downsides. Very smart people and interesting clients. Unique approach to providing assurance.

Cons

The way projects are structured make burnout inevitable. You are usually at a client for the last 2 weeks of their review period which makes it stressful knowing your work will likely not be reviewed until after the period is over. Some managers are usually too busy to provide support to their seniors, but that's ok because it really isn't the manager's fault. It is difficult to improve reports you work on knowing that any potential issue or change from the previous year will lead to more work. Most seniors rely on google for technical help due to the lack of system specific training.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
