Pros

Brand name on the resume, 25 days vacation for new employees.

Cons

Work life balance is not valued at all. Management will talk all about how they are on the top 100 list for best employers to work for, but all the perks (work life balance, flexible work schedule, etc.) only apply for secretaries in the office (client support staff). No client delivery people (90% of the company) can partake in these perks as you're slaving away at some client site somewhere. Partners will promise the client the moon, and then leave staff to figure out how to deliver. Typical client service, don't think its different from any other Big 4 firm.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
