Pros

None besides the work life balance, doing charity work, CPA exam benefits, and I guess the coworkers are nice. If I could give this company 0 star, I would. Easy interviews to get an offer based largely on culture fit.

Cons

The first few weeks of training are repetitive and the exams you're required to take at the end of each chapter are unhelpful because you aren't even shown the right answers or what you got wrong after passing. Their national training can definitely be improved especially with some of the larger seminars. Had a terrible experience with certain HR person lady was very rude, insensitive, and judging. But 2 of the other HR ladies were nicer.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
