Pros

Provide solid remuneration, average big consulting bonuses, and good transitions on-board, off-boarding.

Cons

Difficult to achieve targets, poor internal processes and controls, terrible systems, in-fighting galore between groups and even amongst people at close levels over credit, and almost no collaboration. Unscrupulous behaviors are a challenge relative other accountancies who do “Big 4” consulting (i.e., firing of account leaders for unethical behavior). Some of the worst performers are there and continue to be there due to fear of lawsuits, corporate cronyism and absolute fear of actively dealing with the worst employees who occupy protected classes.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
