Associate
Pros: Prestige:  Of the "Big 4" it is probably # 1 especially for tax
Upper management were friendly and accessible
Cons: The training program did not meet my expectations.  You sit in front of computer going through a hypothetical which did not quite correspond to my responsibilities.  Your the thrown into a lot of responsibility and its sink or swim.  I don't have a problem with that culture, however, they definitely play favorites from the outset.  This means some associates have more hands on guidance than others.  Basically, pray your on a team that you mesh with well.
Additionally, I did an internship program and was when I was hired full time I was put in a different section full time which was unexpected and was not given any space in which to work.  This is a problem in the New York office as they are bursting at the seams for space.
