Not a bad place to work
Pros: Plenty of freedom - not  much micro-managing.  This is a pro and a con, though.  People are, on the whole, very competent.  Not a lot of time wasted in meetings, which is nice.  Focus is on revenue and utilization.
Cons: Laissez faire leadership seems to be a cultural norm throughout the practice.  Freedom is nice, but without strong centralized leadership, different groups often do their own thing. The firm seems averse to imposing rules that would require interaction (e.g., mandating review of returns by specialists if dollar amount exceeded certain threshold).  Could have stronger quality controls over tax preparation process.
