Pros

Snacks, Water, Coffee, good staples discount but I think got rid of that,

Cons

- Hiring out vs promotion internally - End of Year Compensation is a bell curve (Inflation has been INSANELY higher then salary increase. Upper management hoards all the money and distributes a very small amount to the TOP Performers, I mean 3 to 4 associates, 3 to 4 senior associates, and the rest are left with around 0-2% raises with no promotion) This createst a dog eat dog mentality, which CONTRADICTS the For the Better pillar they speak about. - Consulting ISNT problem solving, its making clients happy and most of the time upper management has absolutely no clue how to direct clients effectively, leading to countless pointless work for associate/senior associates/managers.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
