Pros

Opportunities for development, career growth, and knowledge sharing. International rotation opportunities and 5 weeks vacation. Exposure to complex accounting issues.

Cons

Extended periods of out of town travel depending on your client assignments, long work hours/weekends during your client's busy season makes it difficult to have a work life balance, which may not be limited to Jan-April if you work in Audit. Current technology of audit is not efficient.

Pros

A lot of smart people to learn from

Cons

A lot of people leave. Utilization is also a dumb metric now with how much money they are dumping into their AI. Work is getting done quicker, hence less hours are being charged even when busy. Margins are consistently up despite hours being down so I don't get the need for higher utilzation KPI's anymore. On top of that, managers make you "eat" your chargeable hours to stay within their very small budgets now too, so utilzation does not really reflect anything meaningful anymore. Commercial consultants work 1.5-2x more than federal consultants but federal consultants are usually 100% utilzed because they must use the full budget despite the work not taking as long/as stressful of deadlines.
