Pros

Benefits are good. They feed their staff during busy season. That's about it... Look elsewhere for a full time accounting role. You can find a better role anywhere else in the world for the same pay and less hours.

Cons

Pay is lackluster compared to their competitors. Management is incredibly top heavy compared to lower level staff at this office. The tax leadership in this place is horrible. It's no wonder they can't keep their turnover down as well as onboard new interns as full time employees. They also aren't a "local" firm. The current location is basically split between two offices. That's how bad business is at this place.

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.
