Pros

Exposure to well-known clients. Ambitious growth plans on paper.

Cons

Management is inexperienced, and decisions are often driven by self-interest rather than strategy. Employee wellbeing is not a priority, despite heavy promotion of a “great culture.” Recruitment messaging, especially when targeting Big 4 employees, does not match reality. Extremely high turnover at director level. New directors are hired mainly to bring clients, then pushed out within a year

Pros

Great flexibility; overall positive environment

Cons

Heavily pitched on bonus potential but little to no ability to realize based on scheduling limitations; higher than expected partner turnover is indicative of issues within upper management

Pros

- Hybrid/Remote - Good work life balance - Smaller clients Company is trying to grow which provides more visibility within teams. If you want to be a part of a company that is in its growing stages this would be a good fit. All ex big 4 employees who left for a better work life balance with less complex engagements.

Cons

- Lack of well established internal controls and outside resources - Bare minimum company benefits - Pay is below market level Coming from a big 4, I was not expecting the lack of resources provided. It is hard to do the job without the proper level of resources. Not a well established firm yet. Felt like the company was trying to present themselves at the big 4 caliber, when it is no where even close to the top 10 accounting firms. Felt like a huge step down in my career.
