Cons: Insane hours, compensation not equitable, restructuring contributed to a lack of opportunities for advancement, It’s easy to be forgotten when it’s time for promotions, you have to be exceptional AND fight for yourself openly in order to be promoted in 2-3 years.  Must have a CPA to be a Partner or Sr. Mgr but the firm offers no educational reimbursement if you’re missing credits to take the test, Must be a Senior or above to get 4 weeks vacation or performance based bonus....if you directly and positively impact margin it does not matter, PBB is only for Sr. level and above. No negotiations allowed. Often required to work while on holiday, do not get sick...must still work (from home) even if sick (if you have a job where others rely heavily upon you) so fingers crossed you are never deathly ill,  must learn to live on less sleep seven months of the year
