Pros

Having Big Four on the resume is huge 5 weeks vacation

Cons

Yes, the hours could be long but the worst was that everything was always a competition. The fastest way to make yourself look better was to make sure other people looked incompetent. It make it very hard to learn new things or get better at my job. There were a few people that were delightful to work for that managed to climb up without being jerks to everyone around them but they were very rare.

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.
