Pros

Great development programs and learning opportunities. Caring people - some flexibility in scheduling (depends on the office and the Director-In-Charge). Employees very dedicated to clients. You will always find at least one team with good coach(es) in every office. There are a lot of good people who work for Blue - knowledgeable, client-focused, team players. Great internship program and internal promotion opportunities.

Cons

Still controlled by the 'good old boys' network in upper management. Little to no diversity in upper leadership positions, particularly senior leadership. C-Suite hires in the past 6 years have all been white, middle-aged men. Lack of equal compensation for women common in newly hired experienced roles. Blue is frequently out of the market when it comes to compensation for levels above staff accountant and non-accounting roles in general. Turnover due to compensation, remote work and poor leadership. Talk of 'one firm' is just talk. There is a lack of standardization of procedures and consistent application of company policies. "Favorites" of the DIC/sr leadership benefit in some offices more than others when it comes to flexible schedules, work assignments, merit increases, etc. Hard to participate in initiatives for company growth or recruiting that are non-chargeable and still be able to bonus. Overall lack of recognition for participation in these efforts.

Pros

Amazing culture and opportunities for development. The people are great and I couldn't be happier. Lots of potential for career growth and development. The company is growing and still dedicated to remaining independent unlike many other firms selling to private equity and venture capitalists.

Cons

Some growing pains to be expected but everyone is working together to scale process and procedures.
