Pros
I joined BL 2 years ago from one of the major public accounting firms and have quickly noted that there may be too many positives to list but here are some of my main takeaways:
- ZERO time reporting: allows seniors and managers the opportunity to focus on delivering work rather than administrative tasks
- Less time on the road: work from home every Friday (no weekend travel)
- International travel opportunities (only if you are interested): in less than two years I've been to Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean multiple times with Australia and S. Africa on the horizon
- Talented co-workers: no college new hires at BL = everyone brings a great knowledge base and relevant experiences to the table
- Annual corporate party (past destinations I've attended include Cancun & Las Vegas - employees are allowed a +1)
- Accessibility to all seniors, managers, and partners (tight knit group that keeps in contact regularly)
- Probably should have been #1 but the pay and bonuses blew my former public accounting firm out of the water!
- Ability to live in or move to just about any major city in the US: I recently moved across the country with zero issues or "red tape" issues with management
Cons
- If travel is a concern this should be voiced during an interview. Certain cities do not require as much travel as others due to the amount of local clients.
