As good a work-life balance you're going to get from a public accounting firm

Advanced associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, decent benefits, competitive salary. You can get a lot of good experience in 2 years (including planning and reporting) and a lot of emphasis is put on passing the CPA exam.

Cons

Sometimes good work goes unappreciated. If you don't learn to say no, upper management will recognize it and work you until you burn out.

Work and life balance? Only on upper management not on staff level.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Opportunities to work with different clients/industries 2. Have different events throughout the year 3. Many energetic staffs 4. Decent benefits package

Cons

1. Keep telling employees BPM is proud of providing work/life balance when the fact is NOT. 2. Keep telling employees BPM is investing a lot on each employee by providing different training or a good benefits package when other CPA firms also do so. 3. Coach/Coachee program sounds good if the coachee can pick someone that he/she trusts. 4. Upper management ignores the fact that people "eat" hours to make the budget looks good. 5. Different offices have different management styles. It is okay when the team is from one office but this is not the case for most jobs. 6. Corporate culture - the culture has changed A LOT due to the mergers in past few years. Employees are not as close to each other anymore.
