Pros

You got a bump in salary if you came from outside

Cons

Too much favoritism, too much backbiting, a group that close to the people in power regardless of their talents destined to move up to position. People who represents real talents suffer too much and become workhorse and get blamed. Not a good environment if you want to enjoy the already stressful work in public accounting.

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.
