Pros

Work at home is convenient. The paycheck was ok.

Cons

The Company only hires people from the "Big 4" and sells potential employees on the idea that is an alternative to accounting firms, when it is not. Its run exactly like a large accounting firm. Very poor communication on engagements and an arrogant attitude regarding any decisions. Their process is always...when I worked at Arthur Anderson or KPMG, we did .... Who cares? So if you like working with arrogant people that do their work based off opinions instead of research, you will fit in great. If you like doing research or have a different perspective, you will be very unhappy.

Pros

- Hybrid/Remote - Good work life balance - Smaller clients Company is trying to grow which provides more visibility within teams. If you want to be a part of a company that is in its growing stages this would be a good fit. All ex big 4 employees who left for a better work life balance with less complex engagements.

Cons

- Lack of well established internal controls and outside resources - Bare minimum company benefits - Pay is below market level Coming from a big 4, I was not expecting the lack of resources provided. It is hard to do the job without the proper level of resources. Not a well established firm yet. Felt like the company was trying to present themselves at the big 4 caliber, when it is no where even close to the top 10 accounting firms. Felt like a huge step down in my career.
