Pleasant office environment, but management can be harsh

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office and kind people overall

Cons

Hours can be long but not unmanageable. Pay is on the lower side but that depends on the role. Worked in the Transaction Advisory Department and the Partner in charge targets people and brags about how many people he was responsible for getting fired.

Good stepping stone but know when to leave.

Tax manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great environment to build varied work-experience to spring-board elsewhere. Develop a plan on how long you plan to stay, what your goals are while there, etc. and it can be an excellent stepping stone toward something much better.

Cons

Awful Management, poor benefits, long hours, low pay. Public accounting is a grind but management tries to get every ounce out of you. They'll promise you the moon with a smile on their face but never deliver. Now it's just another big corporate public accounting mill.
