Pros
- Great culture and great teammates, many former and like-minded Big 4 employees.
- Work is heavily focused on SOC 1 / SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / etc. and no SOX audits for those looking to move away from SOX audits.
- Firm encourages continuous training and certification preparation (provides employees with bootcamps for CISSP, CISA, and other certifications) and covers all exam related fees such as annual memberships, exam fees, exam study material.
- Flexible schedule / ability to work from home / remotely when you aren't assigned to travel assignments. If you are travelling, the standard travel is Monday-Thursday. If you are requested to travel on Sunday or Friday (flying across the country or internationally), the firm provides a travel bonus.
- Monthly Cell Phone Reimbursement.
- Quarterly bonuses (some quarters higher than Big 4 annual bonus).
- Good 401k match and the match increases each year you stay up to 10%.
- Annual company outing with option to bring a guest complimentary (past locations include: Key West, Scottsdale, Orlando, Las Vegas, etc.)
- No requirement for utilization / chargeability like Big 4 as this is all handled internally by management and resources are booked on projects over several weeks. This really lowers stress and time spent on administrative tasks.
- Firm shuts down for 2 weeks around Christmas / New Years.
- Firm pays for medical and dental insurance.
Cons
- With the majority of our work being external audit focused, the workload depends heavily on whether clients provide evidence and cooperate, otherwise, it can leads to delays and backlog in work for future projects.
