Pros
**Firm is definitely a good place to learn, even if much will have to be self-taught due to poor leadership. **Auditing experience here will look good to work at better firms, offices, etc. **Firm is generous with benefits if you are able to keep your job here.
Cons
**Forced RTO policy of 3 days a week (Even if you are on an engagement with those in different office locations) is both pointless and ableist, as many excellent employees with issues such as those with neurodivergence or physical health issues thrive when working remotely. **Office setup is not conducive to forced RTO. Tiny and cramped, hot-desking office full of distractions. This setup is only being utilized to cut costs and to funnel more of the profits to the partner level, not because anyone likes it. It is a de-humanizing and classist setup in which the only person who has their own reserved office is the office managing partner. **Firm does not do a good job of ensuring first-year staff are getting the support they need from second/third year associates, and senior associates. **Firm has been regularly laying off staff since 2022 under the excuse of low levels of attrition, even though the real reason is to cover for ineffective partners who are failing to grow the business. Their solution after they fail to obtain new business is to cut lower-level staff so that they can keep their bonuses while mismanaging the office.
