Pros

It's a good place to get a known name on your resume.

Cons

If you have any intention of learning anything or moving up, be wary of staff augmentation engagements, particularly in the federal space, where you will be warehoused and forgotten about while the rest of the firm enjoys the spoils of the customary "just short of the mark" annual revenue result. Be prepared to leave in 2-3 years when you finally realize, that despite your best efforts, nobody really has an interest in seeing you move up or grow. The promotion/compensation roadmap is deliberately ambiguous and overly dependent on the oratory and case-making ability of an individual who may not even work with you and/or even have your best interests at heart. If you are veteran transitioning from active service, understand that even if well qualified, you are mere window dressing to satisfy a veteran hiring goal. You are behind your peers who did not serve, or serve as long, and you will stay behind, regardless of your experience, qualifications and education. Yes, I am a vet. If you are a glutton for punishment go to another Big 4 firm, at least you'll be paid better.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
