Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

A good place to start, but value measured in hours, not innovation
Pros: Lots of opportunities to interact with big-name clients, people are relatively intelligent for the most part, nice to be a part of a huge young workforce
Cons: Although most people are smart, the value-add of most associates (and even seniors) is the ability to sit down, shut up, and not ask to go home. Many times, especially during busy season, where poor planning by senior associates (i.e. 25-28 year olds) leads to "fire drills" at the end of audits. Little buy-in from managers, partners, etc. and low compensation for hours worked
