Pros

Opportunity for growth due to high turnover of 1st - 3rd year associates. Hours are better than most other public accounting firms, but you can still expect to work 50 hours weeks in busy season.

Cons

Small engagements fees put extra pressure to make budgets. Lack of direction from management. General lack of organization. Promotions not necessarily based on ability.

Pros

You go through same training as incoming audit associates (and it refreshes all that stuff you forgot from college). Small audit teams, so you get more responsibility & see audit "all the way through"; relevant & interesting work. Managers & seniors friendly & helpful, expect you to make mistakes and take time to explain stuff. In a way, you're almost treated like a new-hire associate. Have resource center for each office which deals with typical employee questions/issues. LOTS of free food. Young culture, easy to bond with coworkers. Clear expectations & evaluation, esp if you ask for it. From what I've been told (doesn't apply to interns), generous time off. Unlike many firms, internship is during "busy season", so you get to experience it for the 1st time before it hits you as a new hire.

Cons

There's a certain lack of consistency, b/c each manager you work with wants things done differently. If you're doing "core" assignments (aka real estate, low income housing, which is the firm's specialty and thus overwhelming proportion of work), it's very automated. Firm seems limited in industries other than real estate. For all staff other than interns, typical "busy season" long schedule pains, lots of Saturdays in office (although firm does try to make it better w/ free meals, mid-season fun activities). No summer internships, so depending on school program, you either have to take semester off & be full time or work part time & grapple with class scheduling. New hires and interns assigned to "teams"; didn't really get to meet other people in the office outside of team.

Pros

Benefit package. Autonomy. Very talented group of professionals with ability to be more than the firm is today. Enjoyable work atmosphere.

Cons

Senior Leadership lacked vision and strategy. Firm has limited skill sets and should focus more on them than trying to be something it cannot. Lack of trust and respect amongst Partners and Leadership and across offices
