Great Company but the people on your engagement team can ruin it for you
Pros: So many perks, such as unlimited sick days for yourself/family members, extended holiday vacations,  firm-wide two-week shutdown over Christmas and New Years, tuition reimbursement, student loan paydown benefit,  up to $5k bonus for passing the CPA exams within 1 year of employment, an extra 401k-type retirement account and so much more.
Cons: Unfortunately, the people on your engagement team either make it or break it for you.  I am in audit and the first engagement team I was on was just like a high school clique, which was really tough, especially during busy season, because I didn't fit in. Now I am on another team and feel much better about my coworkers. Another con is the fact that we work in an audit room and all sit around a group of tables- no cubicles to call our own. I miss having privacy. Also, during busy season we worked 70-80 hours, which wasn't that bad actually, but I didn't like the fact that we had to take lunches and dinners together. I like being around people but 12-16 hours a day is just too much.
