Pros
If you like 60 hour weeks during busy season, this is the place for you. That doesn't mean that there is a bonus program in place for you, it just means that there will be lots of work pushed your way. To be fair to Eisner, they don't have a lot of choice here. They are hemorrhaging talent at the moment to firms with better conditions, better pay, more modern technology and a better alignment with their workforce. Being booked on client work at 40 hours a week means you have wide open availability. Eisner partners talk a lot about "culture" and "family" which is right if you're a partner. If you're just a worker, none of these words count for anything. If you have no other options, use Eisner as a stepping stone to get experience, build up your resume, and work towards a sustainable career.
Cons
It it's in writing, believe it. If it's not in writing, it doesn't exist. HR goes out of their way to keep people happy, but remember that they work for the partners, not for the workers. Be ready to be knifed in the back without notice when the spreadsheets don't give the partners the answer they are looking for. Also, Eisner sold out to Private Equity in 2021, so don't think for a second this is about personal growth or client service. It's about monthly metrics. One month, you're the talk of the town, the next, you're not needed.
