Pros

Some genuinely good people here. Mostly the new (younger generation). Work/life balance and flexibility is improving.

Cons

Management will do whatever it takes to keep black women from advancing. Those who advance are forced into lateral moves or toxic roles. Expect to work twice as hard as your white counterparts. Eventually you will burnout from the exorbitant workload they put on you and give up. Once you begin to notice what’s going on and reach out for help, you might as well start packing your bags. HR is not your friend and management is skilled at engineering scenarios that force you out or trigger a reaction from you that they can highlight —beware! You will watch white employees leave at 5pm while you are working until midnight. Do not come here if you are a black female. It is degrading and you will leave a shell of your former self.

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.
