      Not a long-term bet unless you're part of the inner circle

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Market pay at start, limited increases after except if you are close to partners 2 weeks of company shutdown in July and year-end Most clients are decent (just messy books/records)

      Cons

      Lots of backstabbing and toxicity is allowed Several (not all) partners micromanage the engagement and blame the manager if something goes wrong and take credit for all the good things Some staff get away with murder because the partner likes them and manager is left picking up the pieces No real vacation for manager and above, usually 1-2 weeks of the oversold vacation is lost because you are so busy throughout the year

      Waste of time

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Convenient location , decent industry standard software

      Cons

      This firm is a waste of time. They can't keep anyone halfway decent because they keep firing experienced people to save money by hiring cheap, illiterate interns from small towns. If it's not that, they're shoving off work to the Philippines where the quality is even worse than what was done in-house by our illiterate friends from the small towns. The result is it's now overrun by losers with lowest character and chemical dependencies because upper-management want to milk this place instead of spending what it takes to retain good quality accountants.
