Pros

Great internal and external training, opportunity for advancement, exposure to a large variety of industries, good PTO, and opportunity to work on any and every kind of tax return.

Kontras

They claim to be flexible, yet they yell at you for walking in 30 minutes late one morning after you have worked 14 straight days and until the early hours of the morning on most of those nights, but you will never get a "thank you for your hard work." They recruit you on a personal level and tell you that you can work at any of their offices and that you aren't just a "number" like at a larger firm; what a lie. You can only go to an office elsewhere if they need the bodies, and they do not care about you personally, you ARE JUST A NUMBER pushing out numbers for them. For being such a large national firm, you would think they could have a lot more revenue and employees, but they do not. It is very disappointing. No pay raise with promotions. You get new responsibilities and a title change but have to wait until the annual compensation adjustment, which isn't that much even for the best performing employees.

Pros

To name a few, the wide variety of clients and the ability to take on responsibilities early on, consistent access/mentorship by the leadership team, a clearly-defined but customizable career path and great training/ support. Even though it's public accounting, I don't feel like I have to choose between my family and my job - I can flex my time and the leadership team trusts me to prioritize. I've seen a lot of positive changes in my 10 years at BKD from when I started, most of which have come from employee engagements surveys/ ideas from internal employees. No mandatory rotations means I can keep my family in one place, but we're big enough (and continuing to grow) that I could move if I wanted to. The ability to choose my specialization rather than be told where the firm needs me has been and always will be a selling point for me. For accountants, we're creative and strategic in how we innovate and I'm glad to be a part of it. BKD also really helped me to develop as a professional supporting my efforts in the community/ on local boards, etc. Non-discretionary Profit Share is 5% annually - better than a 401k match to me.

Kontras

Standard cons with a pubic accounting firm - longer hours ahead of peak deadlines and an every-changing knowledge base in the industry can be stressful to keep on top of. While compensation adjustments seem to be in line with market standards overall, I'd like to see a performance-based bonus for certain milestones.

Mentorship, innovation, and work/life integration are all important aspects of our culture. We value our people and are always reevaluating how we can create a flexible working environment.
