Pros

Generally good people to work with. Like anywhere the quality of the people you most directly work with was the key element in your success and progression. Some great people who really were at the top of their field.

Cons

It is an still an series of small practices under one brand. Many of the processes and systems are still being figured out and progress on HR, knowledge sharing and the advisory products were neing developed on the run. There were a couple of partners who were not good to work for and because they were 'the owners'of the business no one would confront them.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
