Great Experience
Pros: Great learning experience, fantastic benefits, mostly good team, receptive management, ethical people, flexibility in managing day to day schedule, great technology capabilities, great resources, certification programs, fast paced learning and quick responsibility given
Cons: Busy season is not a season - it is more like busy year with light season, implied expectations for long and grueling work hours as you rise in seniority, pigeon holed into one company section even when you express interest and desire to work on other teams, not much say in what projects you work on, spread people too thin across many projects at once, many job responsibility expectations to rise in seniority outside scope of chargeable work even after 40, 50, or 60 hour workweeks (recruiting, mentoring, network organizations, volunteer work, organizing events), less encouragement if you do these activities outside of work (because firm does not benefit), unlikely to pay for schooling unless explicitly for accounting and to get a CPA
