Pros

The Company has multiple service lines and many different clients from various industries. The good thing there is a lot of opportunity to find something you like to work on.

Cons

The Company seems to push their firm lingo a little too much on their employees such as changing the term “busy season” to “opportunity season” and using other company lingo as well is a bit overwhelming and also rather strange. It’s a top 8 firm yet their salaries are way below market value even though they claim they factor in other Big 4 Firms when setting their compensation levels. Also, there are no bonuses as they claim the annual bonus is baked into the annual salary increases. Overall, you’re expected to work like you’re at a Big 4 but there are far less benefits offered than an actual Big 4.

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.
