Pros

Strong accounting and tax practices with clear career paths relative to other firms.

Cons

Less work life balance than bigger, more aggressive firms. Leadership has transitioned multiple times in the last few years and is volatile at best. Compensation is at the low end of the market. You work as hard, or harder than the PwC and E&Ys of the world, for less quality of life, less compensation, and less value add to your resume when you leave.

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.
