Pros

They avoid lay offs as much as possible New office in downtown

Cons

Low trust environment, different departments operate drastically differently Some are as much as 80% WFH, while others can be 100% WFO regardless of client location Bonuses spread across departments regardless of projects won by your team, hence low bonuses even when performing well

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
