Good place to start your career if you can hang with the tough environment
Pros: - Exposure to many fortune 500 companies and c-level execs
- Accelerated learning and professional development
- Good benefits
- 10%-20% annual pay increase each year (at least for exceptional performers)
Cons: - Travel, long hours, tough/strict work environment
- Structured and bureaucratic culture
- Promotions seem based on firm politics
- Risk adverse. Lots of red tape (compared to other big 4)
- Poor usage of technology. PCs are frequently breaking and we still use hardcopy workpapers, forms, etc.
- Poor knowledge sharing between practices, business units, and locations
