      Satisfied but bored

      Staff accountant (corp fin)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work in Corp Fin and work-life balance is good for accountants. Benefits for Federal employees are also good (except for maternity leave - which doesn't exist).

      Cons

      Reviewing filings (Corp Fin) is monotonous.

      Work/Life Balance

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It provides a good work-life balance and permits part-time workers. I was able to work three days a week and still devote time to my young children. I felt like I was contributing to the SEC on a meaningful level. At the same time, I also wanted to provide the best care possible for my family and this allowed me to have both.

      Cons

      The delay in decision making. I have since worked in litigation and I found I was extremely excited to be able to write a motion and get a decision and move on. Some of the toughest decisions at the SEC seem to just remain on the table. It seems like management needs to focus in on the priorities.
