Pros
The firm is very "family" oriented. Easy to make friends when you start (and senior leadership expects you to make friends at work)
The amount of work is reasonable and you will not work more than 50-55 hours a week
The office in uptown Charlotte is nice and you are provided with resources to succeed
Smaller firm and you will know almost everyone who works there
More interaction with high level partners
DHG knows they are good at Regulatory and Compliance work and they stay in that field- there aren't a variety of other projects
Cons
The firm is very passive aggressive. Leaders avoid any confrontation or direct feedback
This is not a consulting job, it is a high level auditor position- you will pre-auditing to ensure companies are in compliance before the "actual" auditors arrive
Company does not like Type A personalities, as the firm is very Type B- they prefer heads down people who aren't going to overstep the clear boundaries
The company wants you to follow a very specific formula- easy to tell the advisory practice is derived from auditors- if you deviate form formula, it will bother the leadership, even if you are successful, remember this is not a real consulting job
They have many processes in place that need to be fixed- DHG is a relatively new firm that is learning how to get better
Technology is lacking behind peers
Mentorship program is very weak- focusing more on a personal level than professional guidance
