Grant Thornton International – “Good balance of Big 4 resources with more autonomy and freedom”

Pros

Big enough to get the clients it wants, small enough to react quickly to changing markets, easy access to local and national leadership

Cons

Limited size means your work is tied directly to what expertise the local partners had to sell. Less partners = less areas of focus. Choose carefully.
