Pros

Good place to gain industry experience. Other companies love hiring employees who have worked at a big 4 firm. Job safety. Ability to move throughout the company in different roles.

Cons

Very mediocre pay compared to the pay at a majority of other firms. You're just a number to the firm and they don't really care to retain you because they can just easily replace you with a cheap salaried college graduate. They will tell you whatever you want to hear to get the most work out of you but won't reward you for the work in the end. The inside of the New York office is extremely old and depressing with 0 sunlight. No work life balance due to the insanely long hours.

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Solid salary, decent flexibility, very good work life balance in the summer, unlimited PTO as long as you hit your utilization targets. Fantastic culture in my office. Encouraged to take time away.

Cons

Busy season expectations- but could be like that anywhere! Workaholic culture, etc. most training is outsourced to sucky online programs instead of mentorship or setting aside time for experienced team members to coach.
