Pros

Met some great friends, learned about audit, not a bad place to start. I left after two years when I realized I would be happier in a big 4 environment (so far so good btw)

Cons

compensation is a joke compared to competing firms (midtier and big 4). hours aren't any better than competing firms. Staffing of jobs seems to be completely random, no logic whatsoever. Firings/layoffs happen more often than they should, and to people who aren't deserving.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
