Pros

- Young atmosphere where friends can be made. - Travel for work - Fast-paced environment to learn many companies

Cons

- Environment of high school with gossip, drama, and popularity that will ultimately determine your pay raise - Non-merit based ranking system (I.e. based upon friendships as opposed to difficulty of work) - Unappreciative managers and partners (As evidenced by top-down orders for partners and managers to show more appreciation because of extremely high turn-over) - So many employees are unhappy working at GT that people are leaving faster than they can be replaced. - Lowest compensation in the auditing industry - Comparable hours to the big 4 and experience is not as good. - Middle market audit firm means some people have year-round busy season

Pros

Promotion path is clear, good benefits

Cons

Expectation to work past your level, bonus reviews are based off of if your peers like you more than your actual work, people who don’t work as hard or have lesser quality of work can make more than you in the same position role, heavily rely on outsourcing to India
