Pros

There are a lot of good CPE classes and relevant assurance comments. In addition, you learn a lot on the job. There are a few really good partners to work for. Also, they have a good 401k plan.

Cons

Management expects a lot of employees and there is apparent favortism. There is no work life fit as they advertise. Also, there is no women's initiative- even though they claim that they have a program. In fact, they discriminate towards women in general- especially women who are married with children. There is no diversity within management. Also, there were a number of older partners who were forced into retirement.
