Fine if you like to be micro-managed!

Pros

The unlimited snacks and company-paid meals during busy season. Also, the relaxed dress code during the two busy seasons in the year.

Cons

The office I worked in was so micro-managed that people were in constant fear of their jobs. If you're not a favorite of management you will likely be placed on a PIP. They did this several times. If that happens, quit or find a job before the termination date. This office changes rules constantly and expects the employees to be puppets and mindreaders! Beware of harassment being overlooked by management. The recognition program is a joke!! It totally perpetuates favoritism and not the true efforts of employees who put in long hours and work on projects. Communication is not clear and very inconsistent with the over-worked and frustrated managers and directors. Glad I up and quit and found a nicer place to work.

Pros

Casual attire for an accounting firm Great if you are an Excel whiz Located in the Financial District of Boston

Cons

Terrible hours! In non-tax season, you're still expected to put in almost 10 hours a day. When you tack the commute on, you end up having 12 hour days for not nearly enough pay. Expected to work Saturdays with no exception and cannot ever leave work early Misrepresented the Associate position, which meant that as an Economics major I felt completely overwhelmed. If you are not an Accounting major and do not plan on becoming a CPA, find a different company because Andersen will do its best to make you feel as unwelcome as possible. Billing hours capped so it feels like you basically slave away for very little pay. NO work/life balance
