Pros

Great colleagues, support and, family atmosphere. Better work life balance than big 4 forms, better pay, better attitude. Less seasonality. Working hours are about 50-55 hours, very rarely weekends, drops to 40-50 in off season. (Big 4 would be 60-90 hours, 40 in off season) Smaller clients means more exposure to different areas if a single audit at lower levels.

Cons

Not a big 4 firm (in terms of contribution to career) Some of the clients are riskier than you'd get at big 4 firms

So glad you found the culture and work life fit favorable. These are incredibly important to us and to our ability to retain talent. As for "riskiness" we take our obligation to address financial reporting risks seriously and therefore invest heavily in both training and deep technical resources. Much great learning can be obtained in these dynamic environments!
