Pros

Some good people here, but there are everyone and quite honestly they didn't stack up to the Big 4 or boutique consulting firms I have worked for in the past. As with most big firms, there are opportunities to learn and network.

Cons

Short-term view of the world. As with most firms, they'll do everything to protect/benefit the partnership at all costs - if you're not one then you're on the chopping block at all times. They are bleeding cash due to horrendous audit revenues this year. Do a search for "Deepwater Horizon & McGladrey" - maybe clients are waking up. They are not a Big firm - they are an amalgamation of lots of little firms and their horrendous internal systems and processes show that. They constantly pay less than market rates - they reneged on a promised bonus for me and low-balled every person I hired for my team. Finally, their medical plan is just awful.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
