Pros

Above average comp & benefits, decent mix of clients, fun coworkers

Cons

Work life balance is no better than the Big 4, I left Big 4 firm after 2 years and moved here. It's roughly the same in this regard. Lack of recognition for job well done and brutal busy season. Exit opportunities aren't as great as I had hoped leaving the Big4, but at least I have that on my resume.

Pros

A great place to work. Ethical leadership and very educated and motivated coworkers. I was proud to work here.

Cons

Sometimes certain managers on projects may not be up to par. However, a good partner will weed them out eventually.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
