Pros
Loved Sikich. Learned a lot and was inspired by its growth during the two years I worked there.
Cons
I personally had no complaints as this was my first full time position after college and I had no expectations. However, many new employees hired after me expected Sikich to be a family friendly, completely flexible accounting firm, which I believe to be an oxi-moron. While I'm sure the Sikich experience is not as intense as the Big 4, you are still going to be putting in public accounting hours and traveling as needed. In addition, and this is another complaint I picked up from other employees as I had no expectations: Sikich expected Big 4 work ethic without Big 4 benefits.
