Pros

The company is awesome for young parents in school! The management is flexible to accommodate you with necessary schedule to juggle work/kids/school! You just need to voice your needs and they try to meet halfway. Also, it's the perfect place if you like high net worth individuals field since they have interesting clients and knowledgeable and friendly management.

Cons

Salary inequality for BA in Accounting people vs JDs. When they hire, JDs get like $20k more. This gap continues as you grow in the firm till the very top. But after initial year, the salary raise should be based on the performance and the gap should close over a couple of years. Then, 2 yearly promotions do not matter much, since salary is raised only once a year in spring.

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.
