Pros

Deparments are not segmented by industries compared to other Big 4. Hence, will have a portfolio of multiple industries which will give you a broad learning base. In the later stages of your career you can also negotiate to focus on a few industries. Friendly and helful seniors in training you in areas your not comfortable with. Commitment to sports and social activities by the partners and managers.

Cons

Like the other Big 4, you will experience long hours. During off-peak periods (Apr to Sep) you will be going home at 6-7pm on average. During peak periods (Oct to Mar) you will be going home at 9-11pm on average. Although most seniors are helpful their management skills tend to be bad in not knowing how to allocate assignments to juniors. Hence, in certain areas your doing more than is required and there is uneven work hours within the team.

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.
