Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current

Great for accounting and finance, still not a true advisory business
Pros: Varied work experience
Gain a broad understaning of businesses in different industries
When the market is good, there are good opportunities to try different work/locations etc
Support for most relevant qualifications as long as you get a good performance review
Cons: Long term rewards only come from reaching partnership which is hard to gain unless you are favoured by an existing partner.
Still an accountancy business at heart despite some forays into broader advisory
Getting increasingly corporate political, doing good client work and bringing in new business not always recognised unless you know how to play the profile building game
Business development and sales skills being heavily prioritised over delivery of client work skills - especially for longer term progression.
