Pros

Some nice people. Good coffee in Minneapolis office. Deep client base

Cons

Unfriendly and unhelpful to employees. Typical accountants / auditors - treat employees like numbers. Don't care about person aspects of employees. No work/life balance. They require employees to pay to work there - for example, you need to use your own cell phone and home internet in order to be employed. They don't provide cell phones or stipend for home Internet, yet management requires you to have them and use your own personal device. This is a conflict of interest, since personal phones would then contain very sensitive client data. Company didn't care when I was mugged on my way to work. Boss just wondered why I was late.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
