Great place to build your resume
Pros: Any of the Big 4 is a great resume builder. Have one of them on your resume and you'll start getting calls from recruiters non-stop.

There is a ton of training every year and they make sure to keep you updated on the latest technical developments.

Due to the pyramid structure, the staff group is pretty young, with the majority of audit personnel ranging from the new hires around 23 years old - senior managers at 30 years old. It creates an almost college like environment with each group of new hires considering themselves a "class".

The vacation benefits are great and the ability to take off for long chunks of time during down time definitely is a reason keeping me here.
Cons: The hours are very long, especially in busy season, but it comes with the profession.

Management treats the staff as resources that can be swapped and exchanged
