Cons: Seniors are so squeezed during busy season that they don't have the time, energy and patience to train a staff to be successful at performing the task assigned. Some senior would expect a staff to perform all the tasks with very little guidance, and gave mean reviews afterwards. As a result, the staff get blamed and could be taken off from engagements. If it happened, staff could be put on engagements totally irrelevant to their service line, and typically those engagements are not the type that anyone would be happy to be on. Also, a significant amount of the staff level work is outsourced to India to save cost and make more money for the partners. Therefore, U.S. staff utilization could be very low, and the staff get blamed again for having low utilization. In busy season, seniors typically work 10 AM to 2 AM everyday for 2 months, and it's not nice to work with someone who has 4-5 hours of sleep.
