Great firm, but sadly have some toxic teams
Pros: Firm has good reputation and good amount of big clients. Lots of oportunities to grow. The annual training is systematic and well designed, and provides an awesome opportunity to get to know people and make friends.
Cons: The comments below are specifically for Assurance team in NYC office. Overall, the culture was very top-down and assurance team was not sufficiently staffed. In some teams, because the managers/sr managers were overloaded already, they didn't have time to build or manage the team, or make sure team member were treated fairly. Therefore, it created a toxic culture that hands-on people tends to be the most overloaded ones and not given enough credit. To make it worse, this environment enabled some manipulative people to survive or even take others' credit. 

For new hires, although there were also get supporters like conselor and people advisor, there is a chance for how much help you could actually get (because these supports themselves could be busy or overwhelmed already, or barely in the office). Compared to what I heard about onboarding experiences in other Big Four firms, there are some other firm that is doing better in this area and make the new hire feel much more supported.
