Pros

- The firm hosts lot of events for employees (lunches, employee engagement sessions). - free coffee -Latest technology for employees to use.

Cons

I’ve been here for 6 months now. I’m working inhumane hours and being pounded from every direction… My manager is very passive aggressive. The utilization is a life and death matter for the division if your anything below 75% you get a very angry email from the manager. Compensation is low vs the amount of work that is expected.

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.
