Pros

Highly professional work environment, dedicated professionals committed to professional excellence. Commitment at the top to honesty and integrity.

Cons

Huge staff turnover at the senior to manager level. Strategic decisions appear to be short sighted and harmful to esprit de corps in order to increase the value of equity units. Inconsistent culture across offices and business units

Pros

There used to be good reason to work here, such as bright people and opportunities on cool projects. But the industry is changing, and Grant Thornton is having a hard time adapting their structure and service delivery model. The company is skimping on everything and pinching pennies, and there is no incentive to grow the firm's capabilities since there is so much pressure on being billable.

Cons

The company wants to submit proposals for anything and everything, which means that we make submissions that aren't our strength, so a lot of time is wasted on preparing losing proposals. Also, I am being kept on a project that has not expanded my skills or challenged me in over a year, only to remain billable. Perhaps it doesn't matter, since there are no projects with availability to move to anyway.
