Pros

Most workers are nice and want you to be succesful

Cons

Since the company started to pursue IPO, the entire culture has changed. The hours are worse and worse and not even realistic chargeable goals. HR will chase after you for every reimbursement/not in office days. You can't order coffee using the busy season lunch credit. If that's the case, why offer the credit in the first place? People working there should at least have the freedom to decide what they want to eat/drink with that credit. In addition, people/HR will try to overhear your phone calls in the office. ZERO PRIVACY. They will report you to your boss if they hear anything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Pros

I spent under 4 years at the firm as a intern to senior associate. It was an amazing experience but I attribute my experience to having an extroverted personality which most people do NOT have going into public accounting. My team in particular was filled with amazing people that invested in you personally and professionally IF you worked hard to cultivate the relationships and grow your professional skillset. I was able to create meaningful relationships outside of the office and have fun at the firm.

Cons

I also attribute my positive experience to having great staff around me. That being said, the people you work with can really make or break you at the firm. There are some people that will demand absolute excellence and you will never be able to satisfy them because there will also be the next busy season filled with the same mannerisms and management styles. I also was not happy with the compensation especially when compared to similar roles at other accounting and tax firms.
