Pros

There are a lot of really nice people who work there. They have good training and you learn a lot quickly which makes it great for career growth and future employment opportunities. Unlike Big 4, you get to work on the entire engagement from planning to wrap up.

Cons

Some of the partners and principals who work there are literally clueless. They will sign off on any engagement despite lack of knowledge on industry and subject matter. If you are good at your job they give you more and more work while keeping people who sit around with no work to do. The firm is ran by a group of older white men who do not value diversity or the opinions of women. They do not appreciate their employees or hard work. Promotions are not based on performance or skill but passage of time. Management does not keep employees informed of things happening in the company. Morale is usually very low and everyone complains all the time. There is no work life balance. They do not value their employees or treat them well.

Pros

Close to home, great work-life balance after busy season because there's nothing to do. You will get the big picture and see a lot in an audit.

Cons

No work is assigned to you, so even in audit you will do tax work. You'll spend your days hunting for work, and then you volunteer to learn something new and they won't let you. Then you get yelled at for not having more billable hours. You pretty much have to sit at your desk don't talk, and if you have no people skills / willing to bring people down you'll move right up. The office is very toxic and HR is practically useless. They pride themselves on paying overtime, but they give you way below market vacation days. You also have 120 hours baked into your salary of overtime, so you get stuck working 14 hour days in busy season. 6 days in your first year and 9 days in your second year. You spend weeks on end with next to no work because your job is not transactional. They are better off giving 21 vacation days like every other decent firm does and doing away with the banked overtime because you end up getting less days.
