Very quiet and no one really talks to eachother. Pay is descent but not great by all means. I wish people said hello and by especially the ones that sit by you.

Too Much Politics

Business Outlook

Pros

Big 4 structure without being a number; Much better learning than the big 4 because the jobs are smaller, so you are not stuck at one client for three months - variety is huge; Overall, everyone is pleasant, supportive and helpful at face value. Compensation is comparable to other similar firms and big 4, bonuses were actually paid, surprising in the current economy. Lots and lots of work hours, yet better work life balance than big 4.

Cons

Incredible amount of politics, among other things everyone goes around you to your boss, to their boss, on every little thing, then you get negative feedback from the top; Certain partners/senior management make it difficult to enjoy the work, many quit because of these individuals, but that is common in many firms; People hired outside as opposed to grown within the firm feel like outsiders for years, many leave; Health/Dental plans are not at par with similar firms, it's surprising that the office keeps insisting that they are. Comparing to 7 other similar companies they have the worst. Fitness allowance is comparable, mat benefits don't kick in for 2 years, unlike other firms.

Cons

(not really a CON) In a smaller enviornment the weak links are more visible...this keeps everyone honest and on their toes... No 401k Match...however, there are great incentive plans which are part of the comp package
