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

The environment is great. Partners and Directors are very supportive. And we get a lot of holidays.

Sometimes we lose good people because there are only limited promotion opportunities.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
