Pros

Other than unlimited FTO and occasional travel, nothing worth mentioning.

Cons

Systemic racism abounds. Ask how many black partners they have. If you are not Caucasian or Asian, you can forget about keeping your job for very long. The slightest misstep and you are gone. They want to be like the Big 4, but can never reach that plateau. Grant Thornton is where knowledge goes to die. Notice, how the firm performs the worst audits of any public accounting firm. It's not surprising since GT is where the Big 4 rejects go to. I have never met a phonier bunch of deplorables than I've met at this firm. They are infamous for over-hiring and then firing.
