Largely positive if you can get focused on the internal requirements
Pros: It is everything you make; if you are driven, entrepreneurial, and a team player, this is the place for you
Re-focusing on what is important to employees ("big firm, small feel" initiative)
Surrounding by the best of the best
There really is nothing the firm cannot do but you will need to network to find those cliques
Cons: Don't expect to be successful if you come here looking for a clear checklist of what to do
OVERLY administrative with only partners and directors getting admin support (read: T&E can take even an SM up to two hours per week based on the requirements)
Even work-life balance comes at a cost; you can have it all, but be cognizant of the trade-offs
Being an accounting firm at the end of the day, compliance is excessive to other functions
Being a federal contractor, many of the rules for that practice are imposed on others
