Pros
Smaller firm atmosphere with some opportunity to work on larger clients you won’t find at a local firm. The experience you gain can get you an interview at smaller fortune 1000 or larger private company. Good investments in audit technology. Good benefits.
Kontras
Soft skills are a MUST to succeed and networking with managers and senior managers is required to advance. Upper management’s competency to forecast revenue is very suspect (caused excessive hiring and then mass layoffs). Management isn’t always honest with employees. The whole work review process needs an overhaul. Good work reviews does not mean your performance is meeting expectations. Does not have the resources or talent pool to compete with the Big Four and high bill rates make it hard to gain smaller clients. The Big Four is matching audit fees and taking clients.
