Pros

- Decent flexibility during summer months (i.e. can work from home occassionally and unofficial half-day fridays, depending on client schedule) - Experience builder

Cons

- Do not adequately compensate top performers. Difference in pay between a "Level 4 - above average" performer vs. a "Level 3 - average" performer is negligible. Bonuses/annual salary increases are not in line with market, which has resulted in high turnover - High turnover results in overall lack of experience and poor staff training, increased burden/stress on remaining experienced staff, & more turnover (see a pattern developing?). - Most departments have no problem burning & churning folks. Everybody is viewed as replaceable (even Directors).

Pros

Flexible WFH, free public transportation, down to earth employees, partially because most of the employees here graduated from average or below average colleges

Cons

Not competitive salaries, low 401k contributions, low bonus target. Last year salary increased by 0.5% while inflation increased 4%. Top management focusing on margins and using Indian team. Extremely uneven salaries ranges among same level and similar performance. Seriously, I overheard people talking about public accounting in an airport one time and he said good ones go to big 4, but if you are really desperate, go to RSM.
