Pros

Was a good place to start a career and get experience under the belt. Ambitious and nice group of people to work with which makes all the difference in making work palatable. Work-life balance. When times were good - company tried to create social, team-building environment.

Cons

Communication from upper management is lacking. Second round of layoffs - took management what seemed like a lifetime to decide who to cut. This fostered low morale, anxiety, and non-productivity. There's definitely favoritism and office politics. Rules can be bent if you have the right people on your side. Hiring and firing strategy seems contradictory. If there isn't enough revenue to support current headcount, why are offers still being made? Seems to make better sense to hang on to those you've already spent money recruiting and training. Company seems more concerned about their reputation from the outside, than how their employees feel from within.

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.
