Pros

- Good bonus - Great retirement benefits - Outstanding work-life balance (1 day/week work from home)

Cons

- Your experience working in the division is largely determined by whether or not you have a good manager. Vastly different cultures and work-life balances between not only Audit Teams, but office locations. - More leadership presence in Charlotte = more visibility = Charlotte employees move up faster - Leadership in NY is totally invisible. Only 2 Director+ Level folks located in NY and they're in their own little worlds. - Extremely top heavy; nobody above the Manager Level ever leaves. Division just churns and burns Staff and Senior Auditors who hit career roadblocks and inevitably leave within 1-3 years. - In looking for efficiencies, they are very penny wise and pound foolish. Bonuses are nice but base salaries in NY lag the market and in general, yearly raises barely pace inflation. Puts employees at a constant flight-risk for more money and ends up costing the firm exponentially more in hiring, onboarding, and training replacements.

Pros

They're somewhat competitive when it comes to salary. They have a cafeteria in the building which can be nice if your booked all day in meetings.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend working here the chances of being laid off is 80%. Take a more stable offer; this place is a revolving door no one is safe.
