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

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.
