Good name but too demanding

Pros

The firm is widely recognized and a very good name to have on your resume. Good benefits and perks. Overall, the firm is efficient and organized.

Cons

People seem to have high expectations of everything and if you don't meet even one expecation, it is formally documented and can affect your overall performance rating. People are always behind closed doors and never have time to meet with you to discuss in person. Layoffs are ongoing. The economy seems to be the excuse for anything negative happening in the company. People live with their blackberries and expect you to be available 24/7 everyday. Who needs this??

BAS needs to mature up as a practice...

Pros

- Practice is still growing so you can gain recognition and be a part of the growth - Parent company is funding BAS. This makes it easier for the practice to stustain - Easy goals and targets - Laid back "audit" culture - Low utilization expectations - Saalaries are competitive.

Cons

- BAS needs to understand the difference between technology and Risk/Audit/FSCP etc. You cannot mix the resource pool and use the same yardstick for measurement. - EY has a good culture for Audit and legacy Risk etc. This is good but you cannot run consulting projects with this attitude, and be competitive with the Accentures and Deloittes of the world. - Utilization goals need to be carefully looked at, and staff through managers should be rewarded for good utilization. - Practice is still "finding itself". It will take at least 2 years for it to settle down understand its place in the competitive landscape. Right now..no one has a clue. The company is accepting all kinds of projects, as long as people can be staffed. They are struggling to find its differentiator...even though they are trying to leverage other areas of a typical big 4. - Buddy circle is annoying...especially those established between legacy groups like CAS. - Lack of experience at Management level. Anyone can become manager in this firm..if you know the right people.
