Pros

If you like to put your head down and work all day without having a relationship with your co-workers, this is the place for you!

Cons

The Partners at this firm are all new, young and money hungry. They think staff are widgets and dislike people with big personalities. They want staff who sit at their desks and churn out files at a hundred miles an hour. They are a mid-sized firm acting like a big four without the salary or benefit perks. The Managers only care about files, they have no concern for staff progression. They do not know what the term Coaching means. They think they know what risk-based auditing is when in fact all they know is substantive testing. It's hard to hold that against the manager group when they are all internally developed. The firms mission is to "help their clients and people succeed," which is comical as the firm does not even have a training program for their juniors, seniors or managers. They throw their staff in the deep end to figure things out and coaching is a mythical concept not a reality. Also, the above 3 reviews which rate the firm as amazing are from the firms internal HR or admin staff which is irrelevant to the firms culture as it is a public accounting firm.

Pros

Good variety of clients with lots of audit work. Gives you the ability to work on and review different types of accounting for different industries. Good training for junior staff. No pressure or requirements to bring in clients. Some partners very good at business development.

Cons

- The partners who are good at business development unfortunately will not be teaching you anything to help you with that skill. - One partner in particular is very rude and disrespectful. and just having to see them once in a while almost makes it not worth it working there. -HR is very fake and will tell you everything you want to hear, until it comes time to deliver on promises. - Culture is very poor and the best people have left the firm, including senior managers and some partners. -Long hours and very stressful environment for being a mid-size firm. Might as well work at B4 if you are going to endure that. - Manager group, the people you will learn from the most, are not the cream of the crop in terms of social interaction, teaching or mentorship skills. They are more file reviewers than managers. -Low pay, long hours -Too many managers and partners with shrinking client base, very little advancement opportunities for seniors and managers -Very little emphasis on becoming a well rounded accountant or advancing your career, only care about pumping out files and meeting deadlines.
