Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former

Huge ups and downs. Definitely love/hate relationship.
Pros: Great pay
Excellent benefits (pto, discounts, fitness subsidy)
Name recognition
Exposure to senior management
Exposure to various accounting areas
Big offices have a very social environment
Coworkers tend to be extremely  ambitious and intelligent.
Cons: The worst thing about this job is the number of hours you put in. At first it's exciting and you couldn't care less. You almost even take pride in working 80+ hrs a week. You feel strong. BUT then as the months go by, you start missing out on life and suddenly it just isnt exciting documenting why a number is or isn't correct, why controls are/aren't effective. Id rather be saving the world. Really. My teams were incredible. Sweet, smart, and fun. But the stress levels during busy season are outrageous and it never changes. Deadlines have to be meet at the expense of your personal life.
