Pros

I work with some really intelligent, motivated people. We earn TOIL which is a massive plus point over the Big 4 accountancy firms. I feel as though I have learnt a lot about business since joining the firm.

Cons

I work with some really stupid people, who don't really care about my well being, they just want the huge amount of work done. The merit rating system is rubbish, and if anything is demotivating because it is so hard for people to recognise when you have gone the extra mile.

Would be a good employer if it wasn't for poor staff morale

Pros

The people are intelligent, friendly and a pleasure to work with. The office is nice and usually well maintained. Free breakfast before 8.30 is a nice perk. Although less than the Big Four, pay is ok for the hours and the work performed. Genuine attempts to respect work-life balance, although they really worked out in practice. Training offered used to be very good but suffered a little when the company structure changed.

Cons

Staff morale was very low for about two years prior to be leaving. Although a rewards system was set up to help with issues with recognition, it's operation depended on who you worked with, as some managers used it all the time and others never touched it. I think this actually lowered morale because it meant that some people were getting little to no credit that other people were being rewarded handsomely for.
