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.

Pros

Good culture and people, genuinely many easy people to work with. Make sure to do CPA because they force you to take it

A lot of managers can be micro managers which can ruin your time on an engagement, especially during busy season. also you can't really negotiate salary
