Experience level: Confirmed

Overworked.
Pros: I liked the recruitment process and the internship because they really focused on teaching and caring for their employees. Another aspect that was a positive were the people. My seniors really worked hard to develop staff.  I gained great public accounting experience to take potentially into industry. And it looks great on a resume.
Cons: I felt like I was only learning small pieces of the big picture. So much was automated so that you didn't have to think for yourself.  This would hurt me in the future. I also found that every level, even partners, worked tirelessly, and that I would never get to a point where there was actually work life balance. With so much turnover you are left with college grads and employees that are "comfortable" in public accounting.  Most of the great talent leaves for industry.
