Pros

I fully stand behind our CEO's statement: a name from the past, a firm for the future. We are growing, and with that comes some pains. But we have made stellar progress since our founding, in client base, global expansion, women's initiatives, parental guidance, benefits, community outreach...the list goes on. I think people who don't truly strive to be the best, may find easier companies to cruise through. I'm not saying it's difficult to work here (I've worked at larger competing firms), but we can always tell someone who's here for a resume builder versus one who's in it for the long haul. We have a great culture here. This is very office specific, which is great. When I visit other AT offices, it's amazing the welcoming effect the people have on me. This is truly a world class company, and offers a world class employment opportunity. Lastly, we have an amazingly responsive IT helpdesk. Downtime is minimal (VPN might be exception;)).

Cons

- As I understand, only managers and above can get standing desks - Sometimes difficult to work with the VPN (remote) - Training with respect to Biz Dev - _________________________ (you fill in...can't think of anything else)

Pros

I spent under 4 years at the firm as a intern to senior associate. It was an amazing experience but I attribute my experience to having an extroverted personality which most people do NOT have going into public accounting. My team in particular was filled with amazing people that invested in you personally and professionally IF you worked hard to cultivate the relationships and grow your professional skillset. I was able to create meaningful relationships outside of the office and have fun at the firm.

Cons

I also attribute my positive experience to having great staff around me. That being said, the people you work with can really make or break you at the firm. There are some people that will demand absolute excellence and you will never be able to satisfy them because there will also be the next busy season filled with the same mannerisms and management styles. I also was not happy with the compensation especially when compared to similar roles at other accounting and tax firms.
