Pros

Good experience in multiple industries. I have enjoyed moving up within the firm gaining additional responsibilities at each level. Local office management seems to genuinely care about career goals and achieving them. Peers are amazing and smart.

Cons

Not the same company as when I joined 6 years back. The culture changed after the implementation of a new internal accounting system. Long gone are the days of routine team and client lunches which I used to consider as a part of my overall compensation (which greatly lacks compared to other big firms). Health benefit costs are increasing year over year while coverage levels decrease. Not sure how much of the increased costs are absorbed by the company since there is little transparency. Annual salary increase going into 2018 was borderline insulting. Management preeches getting back into growth mode but based on what we're seeing management is going into contraction mode. I wouldn't be surprised to see attrition skyrocket in Q2 after 2017 bonuses are paid out. Seems like strategy is "best place to start a career" but not " best place to continue a career".

Pros

Good Culture, decent pay, not overworked too much.

Cons

Repetitive, meaningless, and boring work, hard to pivot out of this career once started. Also, the consulting career feels like such a fake job at times. Doesn't feel like real work. Makes you question your life decisions. I'd recommend any college grads to think about their future career goals first before joining. I joined on a whim and wish I spent more time interviewing. It's been incredibly difficult to pivot out of internal audit and sox compliance once you are in it. However, if you are really good at corporate politics and advocating for yourself you may be able to pivot out of the IAFA solution . However, not sure how that lends it self if you want to leave the company.
