Pros

Interesting clients and good compensation package.

Cons

Partners who treat audit quality as optional and have completely unrealistic budget expectations, toxic attitudes. Long Island partners who merged in have to be the least skilled accountants I’ve ever seen. Untrained employees at the associate and senior associate level, and promotions not based on merit. Software lags a decade or more behind the Big4. Work life balance is nonexistent at the manager level, expected to basically perform 80% of the audit. Bar set for seniors and associates is extremely low.

Pros

Great opportunity to develop tax and accounting skills while working with experienced professionals.

Cons

Limited exposure to different types of tax returns, and the size of the office sometimes made it difficult to gain broad experience across multiple areas.

Pros

The people here are genuinely kind, and there are definitely positives to the culture. The hybrid schedule is a great benefit, and perks like free snacks, coffee, and lunches during busy season are appreciated. The office environment itself is also pleasant and professional.

Cons

The position is labeled as administrative support, but much of the work involves high-level copyediting, proofreading, and formatting under extremely tight deadlines. Overtime is frequent and often expected with little advance notice, especially when projects arrive late in the day. The pace and pressure can become emotionally draining over time, and it can be difficult to maintain work-life balance. Someone who thrives in a very high-intensity, deadline-driven environment may do well here, but for me the constant urgency and unpredictability made it hard to recharge outside of work
