Pros
The best reason to work at Mcgladrey is to get the public accounting experience on your resume. The client-work is a good mix of public clients and small clients so you don't have to spend a whole year only auditing cash.
Cons
The California region lacks strong management that can connect with its employees. Mcgladrey markets itself as a place where you can have work-life balance (since it's not a Big 4 firm) but this isn't actually true. You work just as many hours as your friends at Big 4 firms, so you might as well have the Big 4 name on your resume (even though Mcgladrey is top 5 nobody recognizes the name).
