Pros

Good experience for someone right out of college and starting in public accounting. Opportunity to learn various aspects of accounting such as federal/fas 109, partnerships, individuals, etc

Cons

Constant turnover and no bonus provided in the year I left since company was transitioning with new internal software program and outsourcing. Not very good at retaining good employees

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
