Pros

- 401k match - HSA Contribution

Cons

-Raw Truth: They don’t care if your kid is sick, you have an appointment, or your car broke down. ​-There is a systemic lack of empathy regarding family obligations and unforeseen life events; management views basic human needs as a lack of commitment rather than a part of life. -Raw Truth: They won't promote people of Indian descent (unless they are tech) and keep leadership "whites only." -The organization lacks a demonstrable commitment to DEI at the leadership level, with visible systemic barriers preventing qualified minority talent from advancing into lead roles. Minorities are the worker bees, management only need show strength of talking louder and more often - that equates to them as being a leader, not being knowledgeable or customer focused. -There is a palpable 'insider culture' that prioritizes a specific demographic for promotion, effectively sidelining experienced Indian-American professionals regardless of performance. Raw Truth: They’re hiring in Argentina to avoid paying US wages and using scripts because they don't speak English. These are their neighbors, FB friends, and cousins mostly. They are struggling and barely around to do the real work as they have more holidays than their US counterparts. -By replacing specialized US auditors with untrained offshore resources reliant on scripts (for every meeting), the firm is incurring significant operational risk and devaluing the integrity of the audit process. -If you say you're overwhelmed, (especially with the work that was left by others they fired, laid off, physically/mentally burnt out to the point of FMLA, or quitting) they give you a bad rating and fire you. -The culture penalizes transparency; raising concerns about unsustainable workloads is met with punitive performance ratings rather than resource support. - Management utilizes the performance review system as a retaliatory tool and "feedback" submissions as a scavenger hunt to find out who said what.

Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, on-site cafeteria with many options, on-site gym (fee is approx $15/mo). Nice/newly renovated buildings, with nice amenitites (break room, jump in/out offices for privacy). In general, work-life balance was good, especially being able to work remotely (additionally) as needed.

Cons

They tend to do re-orgs fairly often (every 1.5 years or so), so it can be hard to get promoted within your current role, you should plan on applying for other roles within the firm, at the level you are looking to be promoted to. Must work in office at least 3 days/week starting in 2026, used to be 2 days a week from 2021-2025. Which means parking will be crowded if you don't get there by 9am. Work stations are not reserved, so if you don't get there early enough and if you don't have a co-worker saving you a spot, you might not find a seat in your work area very easily.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
