Pros

Young, motivated people who are very career oriented would get on well here. The facilities are overall very good and there are regular social events designed to encourage integration between staff members of different departments. Managment takes on a 'best practice' approach to leadership and there is a focus on developing a shared vision between offices and countries.

Cons

Very rigid, top down structure. Very Formal responsibilities. High turnover rate. Professionalism characterises all intra-office relationships. The culture does not encourage individuality, but rather provokes homogeniety. There is a strong sense that worth within the office is linked to performance and other status indicators. This may lead to competitiveness and productivity increases but I find it to be a cold and dispassionate way of dealing with people.

Pros

Great reputation. Big 4 experience goes a long way.

Cons

Extremely long hours. Be prepared to not have a life during busy season, but that is typical in public accounting.

Pros

Challenging work, and good leadership. Advisory practice is growing, so there is a signficant opportunity for growing service lines and becoming a leader. There are talented people at all levels, and even the most experienced person will be able to learn something new when working at this firm. There is considerable opportunity to "think outside the box" as long as it is revenue generating and does not pose risk to the firm.

Cons

Sometimes there is too much focus on sales, not work quality. This is an interesting statement since the firm's tag line is "quality in everything we do". However, the quality is highly dependent on the individual teams leading the work, so there is a range of acceptable quality, which is also depedent on the parter who reviews the work.
