Pros

Professional, decent experience. Good downtown location, some room for mentorship from the older partners if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Old white men (partners) who like to hold onto their money and restrict operational spending to a detriment. But from accountants, what more do you expect?

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.
