Pros

You get opportunities to learn advanced taxation issues. You can't get the same kind of experience from many places. I enjoyed working with most of the people. They have a lot of opportunities to learn in the classroom for continuing education. They make an effort to make sure that you're happy.

Cons

Although they like to market themselves as an alternative to the Big Four, you're still going to work you just as much. They're just not as honest about the time involved. As a tax associate, there were many weeks were my colleagues and I were working 65+ hours. They say they do 55 billable, but that really means you're at work at least 65 hours. Even at the senior level, there was no decrease in time.

Pros

Client size runs from the sublime to the ridiculous mostly a middle market client base the New York Office is dominated by 2 successful specialized industry groups but the general audit group is in turmoil

Cons

Management is dominated by out of touch old time accountants who have yet to realize the world has changed they stress quality of life as they cut the staff to the bone and overwork those that remain.
