Pros

I continuously said to my friends outside of the firm that the ONLY good thing about this company was their coffee machines & unisex bathrooms on the 4th floor of the NYC office. Everyone was very nice to me (not sure they were actually happy with their lives though)

Cons

- No culture. Very overwhelming feeling that you are being micro-managed - In order to have an "unplanned" work from home day - you need to ask for approval from your department head, send the approval from your department head to HR for their approval, then take the approval from your department head and the approval from HR and send that for approval from the billing department. I may even have missed a level approval. This protocol makes it virtually impossible to "work from home" and shows a massive sign of distrust from upper management to lower management. - very depressing place to work. Definitely consider alternative options.

Pros

- They have been growing so the name means something. - Some of the partners are very smart

Cons

- Bad product - the partners are encouraged to take on so much work that they give a terrible product. Clients complained all the time that no partner ever answered their emails or calls. This doesn’t make you feel proud of where you work. You need to encourage a best in class product before pushing more clients on everyone. - No one cares about anyone. Literally you are just a number to them - No culture. This firm is a roll up of dozens of firms with different cultures. - All of the partners are old school and think they are the boss because they were the boss at their little fiefdoms before merging there firms in - CEO is very aggressive and pits all the offices against each other. Everyone is scared of him and this creates a cutthroat environment - No minorities in leadership - Everyone works way too hard. - Dress code isn’t bad, but a lot of the partners wear suits and thus many mid level and lower level people feel they need to wear suits - It’s business first, people second. They don’t even try to make you feel special. You are only a billable hour. - Many managers and partners are very old and set in their ways. It can be depressing as someone in your 20s seeing people top out in their careers at 32. - Unless you merge your practice in, it will be tough to become partner.

Pros

Really none. Just regular office. Maybe the pay raise is consider high. 10% for me last time.

Cons

Terrible long hours. 80 min hours during busy season per week. You get call from HR is you don’t meet the hours. I heard manager expect 100 hours. All needs to be billable. You also get call if you have unbillable hours. HR are the one who assign you work and they are not/were never accountant so they give you ridiculously unreasonable prep hours. They fired my staff the day of they ask the person to leave. Called the person at 10am and told to leave at 3pm. Very insulting and disrespectful. People are not helpful at all because everyone is busy at making the minimum billable hours. Whole vibes just so bad. There’s no standard work paper so if you have no experience and just start off, you won’t learn anything. Unless you already know how to do tax, or else you will suffer. Seniors facing pressure all the time. I guess that’s same every public accounting. They said there’s employee discount on tickets but it’s no use because it’s only like 10% off. U are better off to buy tickets when the venue has discount.
