Pros

I liked the place because of the specialized nature of the work - state & local tax consulting and audit defense, and little else (no tedious, boring compliance work or federal tax), however this is changing somewhat as I believe they plan on getting into federal tax and doing compliance work as well. Company is good about sending you to state tax conferences, outside courses and uses webinars to learn state and local tax laws. Bonus plan is really good, where you truly get compensated for the hard work you've done and motivates you to work hard on an engagement. System of evaluation and feedback is less cumbersome than the Big 4. Good place to go if you've already gotten good training at a Big 4 firm.

Cons

Line level consultants are good about sharing knowledge and helping each other out within their team, but getting support from other teams is difficult and teams don't seem to want to share anything with each other, almost are pitted against each other. Many times you are just left to your own devices on how to figure something out and your manager doesn't have time to help you with it. Extremely rigid policies about how to perform client work and other internal matters that don't always make sense and take away from productivity.

Pros

Flexible time off. If you get under a good manager you have the ability to learn from the best in the tax world. Very good benefits.

Cons

If you have a poor manager it its difficult to like the work. Company is built for management, consultants are the work horses (which is how it is suppose to be) but they are sometimes worked too hard with not enough compensation. Managament level has many projects to spread profitability risk across many projects. Consultant level may only have 2-3 projects a year that pay off.
