Good place to start career, until you qualify and find sth else
Pros: - Brand recognition - well known firm,  great place to start career
- Opportunity to work with lots of clients in different industries
- Opportunity to develop accounting/finance skills
- Staff are dedicated and hard working, good camaraderie amongst associates and seniors
- Social aspect good - lots of young people
Cons: - too much work pushed on staff, not enough compensation
- lip service to "work life balance" - really just a myth
- some senior management/management have severe attitude problems and/or are insanely selfish; cover your ass mentality and will throw staff under the bus for personal gain
- leadership do not appear to know where to take the firm and what to do to grow business, retain staff, improve morale etc., appear to be making it up as they go along
