      Pros

      There is ample to quickly grow accounting skills. With a business development team, employees are not required to grow their own book of business to succeed. The firm has also invested heavily in development recently which is a huge step forward.

      Cons

      Culture can vary significantly between offices. The firm runs on a lean strategy to maximize profits, so there is never an adequate amount of staffing. Leadership creates a culture of fear and blames employees for issues instead of taking personal responsibility for failure to lead appropriately (certainly not true of all leadership, but it is unavoidable depending on the team you work with). Because the firm runs lean, employees do not develop new skills and take on new responsibilities with promotions - they just receive a higher volume of work. Even though this won’t be admitted, day-to-day tasks of interns look very similar to that of senior managers in reality. Instead of meaningful work, the company relies on promised pay increases to retain staff. Most egregiously, pay varies drastically between employees at the same level. Women are often paid lower than men because they are more reluctant to press for a raise, and even at the same level, I’ve seen salaries differ by nearly $20k.

      Cons

      -low pay -high hours, constant pressure to underbill on clients and increase billables overall -very few holidays (good PTO kind of balances) -slow promotions on mandatory timeline (like first year seniors would be managers in most firms slow, remains true up the chain) -low pay relative to current level, so a somewhat underpaid senior is really an incredibly underpaid manager -once per year raises -small bonuses -lots of travel -no time/support for CPA studying -no WFH unless you’re one of the partners favorites -people are fired or intentionally forced out, often, at all levels from associates to APs -both tax and audit busy seasons -very top heavy structure -seniors and managers have to do a lot of preparation -tools/resources are bad -direct work review by managing partner and/or CEO (they are the only partner on a lot of jobs) -pressure to go to external unpaid events -favoritism, grade school politics -lots of mandatory nonbillable time -high employee competition -high inter-office competition, no real coordination/sharing
