Pros

Big firm resources - they offer good big corporation experience as in happy hours, nice office, good research tools, and annual training on regulation and legislation. Dinner was provided during the busy season if you stay past 8. Coworkers are friendly.

Cons

Like most public accounting firms, they run jobs per budget hours. If you are not familiar with the projection and spent too much time (per their definition 5-hour budget return should not take you 5.5 hours to finish), it is not acceptable. At the same time, if they required 60 chargeable hours per week and you only worked 64 hours ( which is higher than 60 right?), that is not acceptable either. Because they are really looking for 75 or 80. Very interesting management style. If you can work the hours, you will grow fast but do not expect to get paid fairly.

Pros

Good amount of holidays and PTO. Lifestyle spending account and remote work were great.

Cons

In an attempt to get me to leave, little by little, my job duties were taken over by others in the department. Partners let this happen and did nothing to help me. Eventually, they eliminated my role. I documented multiple instances where the work environment was incredibly toxic but no one cared. HR never even contacted me for an exit interview. My experience was that if you did not fit into the boys club you would not succeed. There was a culture of micro-aggressions, cruelty, and badmouthing others when they weren't in the room and excluding anyone who did not fit their views.
