Great Place to start out after earning college degree
Pros: There is a great opportunity to learn and achieve at this company.  Most partners display a reasonable level of respect to and for newer employees.  As in almost every organization there are a few who treat staff in lesser positions as if they were an expendable commodity rather than a valuable asset, but on the whole one feels respected and valued.
Cons: It is a large accounting firm, and as such is known for a large influx of year-one employees fresh out of college every year. Compensation is reasonable, but hours and hidden hours are contraindicative to a work-life balance. Perks are fair, but promotions were few ---everyone can't advance, some, even most --- need to move on to move up. They don't have any career path at all for innovative tax and technology combination-minded and skilled staff. Fit the expected pattern and exceed expected work volume accurately and you'll do well. Don't expect to share unusual gifts to expedite workflows and save processing hours and ergo costs -- they don't know what to do with that --- your reward is to ....move out...
