Pros

Smart, personable, get it done employee attitude. Actually works as a team (not competitive with eachother, really wants everyone to succeed). Work/life balance. Great leaders/mentors who push to make you better.

Cons

Terrible pay until you threaten to leave, unable to retain great young people due to poor pay and little development in any specific area. Desperate to sell deals. No strategy (always trying to sell experts for the new hot thing without the experience). 1-2 people on a project, sometimes new hires with no experience are put in uncomfortable client situations (very risky)! Very old school thinking about being present in the office.

Pros

Flexible WFH, free public transportation, down to earth employees, partially because most of the employees here graduated from average or below average colleges

Cons

Not competitive salaries, low 401k contributions, low bonus target. Last year salary increased by 0.5% while inflation increased 4%. Top management focusing on margins and using Indian team. Extremely uneven salaries ranges among same level and similar performance. Seriously, I overheard people talking about public accounting in an airport one time and he said good ones go to big 4, but if you are really desperate, go to RSM.
