Pros

Flexible WFH, free public transportation, down to earth employees, partially because most of the employees here graduated from average or below average colleges

Cons

Not competitive salaries, low 401k contributions, low bonus target. Last year salary increased by 0.5% while inflation increased 4%. Top management focusing on margins and using Indian team. Extremely uneven salaries ranges among same level and similar performance. Seriously, I overheard people talking about public accounting in an airport one time and he said good ones go to big 4, but if you are really desperate, go to RSM.
