Pros

Big Company that is rapidly growing. Freedom to move around as you please.

Cons

Struggled with assimilation after the merger with UHY. Tax just was not able to compete on the corporate side. Company would accept engagements that were so small it was very difficult to remain profitable. Didn't seem to want to utilize all available resources in order to compete with bigger firms. Growth mostly came in form of acquisition of smaller regional firms. That creates culture clash. Growth not coming in the form of increasing market presence. Will take over your life without remorse

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
