Typical Big 4 dissatisfaction
Pros: The company will constantly challenge you by exposing you to new technical accounting topics and opportunities to prove yourself in a tough situation. There are many high profile clients that you have the opportunity to work on. The reputation of working at a Big 4 accounting firm is good. Majority of the people are intelligent and motivated.
Cons: The tough situations are caused by high turnover. People quit because the workload is high. Management doesn't do anything to change the workload which results in even higher workloads and more people leaving; vicious cycle. Management makes claims to change things but things never change. Compensation is low for the hours worked. I honestly believe there is collusion between the Big 4 to keep wages low.
