Pros

Deparments are not segmented by industries compared to other Big 4. Hence, will have a portfolio of multiple industries which will give you a broad learning base. In the later stages of your career you can also negotiate to focus on a few industries. Friendly and helful seniors in training you in areas your not comfortable with. Commitment to sports and social activities by the partners and managers.

Cons

Like the other Big 4, you will experience long hours. During off-peak periods (Apr to Sep) you will be going home at 6-7pm on average. During peak periods (Oct to Mar) you will be going home at 9-11pm on average. Although most seniors are helpful their management skills tend to be bad in not knowing how to allocate assignments to juniors. Hence, in certain areas your doing more than is required and there is uneven work hours within the team.

Pros

Friendly, hard working people. Some managers great with career development and showing concern for you. Well known brand. Ethical and professional.

Cons

Loooong hours expected and not always recognized by management. Can be cut throat and very political. Salaries don't necesarily reflect level of responsibility.

Pros

The name looks good on a Resume, and it is good work experience, so learn all you can while you are there.

Cons

No support or training, with 80 hour weeks there is no work-life balance, very high turnover. They give high expectations of a bonus, then give you nothing. Mgt is very disrespectful. They promise high vacation time, but resent any use of it, then complain when you have carry-over days.
