Pros

They have some great employees, management and some great partners. Work-life balance really depends on what group you get assigned to work with. Growth within the firm exist and the pay is decent.

Cons

Doing labor unions and employee benefit plans does not help your resume. If you really want a public firm look for one that can give you greater knowledge you can use at other firms or in the private sector. They are slowly losing all of their good employees and have some really bad managers who have gotten many complaints but are still there. Be careful of what group you get assigned to.

Pros

Experience depends on your team and manager. As a whole the company is enjoyable and it really is collaborative. Have made great long last relationships. Managing partner is an active member in the office and is always encouraging growth and development.

Cons

The department teams don’t have an equitable standard of expectation for people working in the same team. Someone who isn’t competent enough to know how to reconcile on Quickbooks Online (main software used) and makes frequent mistakes is never made accountable for the extra work they push on to more competent members.

Pros

- First days: Everyone is patient with newbies. Partners, managers and supervisors all come up to chat and welcome if they see a new face - Audit: Great environment for Audit Interns and Audit Associates from my perspective. There is a ton of training on the job from very knowledgeable speakers - Office Location & Parking: Beautiful Burbank office with tons of snacks, easy parking. It's also in a highly walkable area that has good cafes and lunch options

Cons

- PAY & BENEFITS: The salary offerings and benefits are laughable for a firm this nice - Lack of Top-Down Motivation: If you want employees to participate in your initiatives, don't just talk the talk, walk the walk - Lack of flexibility: This heavily depended on the team you were assigned to, but generally people were expected to be in the office most of the time, for no reason other than just because leadership wanted it that way. Hybrid is an option, but it's not the most flexible and does not apply to everyone. This just felt odd to me in 2025. - Rigid criteria from management: Management is not entirely receptive to hearing out other departments. I was faced with plain stubbornness when working on collaborative projects with leadership - Lack of direct communication from leadership: I have had situations where I had to find out from third parties when leadership had feedback on a joint project, which created a very odd situation. Upon bringing this up, I was left on "read"
