Pros

Great firm to work for, great resources and helpful, considerate management. Everyone stays very positive during busy season, and managers are always willing to help wherever necessary.

Cons

The CPA bonus is lower than other large firms. Employer 401k matching seems lower than many other organizations. Long hours during busy season, but summer hours are very relaxed.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
