Pros

The divers work. You will get to learning so much. People around you will really help. They will be your only resources not the manager.

Cons

Hours in Busy season. You don’t get days off that easy you have to get many approvals before. The semiannual reviews don’t really reflect the 6 month worth of work. Some partners take issue too personally therefore it loses the element of professionalism. Do not work on the international clients.. too messy.

A Firm For the Future

Pros

I fully stand behind our CEO's statement: a name from the past, a firm for the future. We are growing, and with that comes some pains. But we have made stellar progress since our founding, in client base, global expansion, women's initiatives, parental guidance, benefits, community outreach...the list goes on. I think people who don't truly strive to be the best, may find easier companies to cruise through. I'm not saying it's difficult to work here (I've worked at larger competing firms), but we can always tell someone who's here for a resume builder versus one who's in it for the long haul. We have a great culture here. This is very office specific, which is great. When I visit other AT offices, it's amazing the welcoming effect the people have on me. This is truly a world class company, and offers a world class employment opportunity. Lastly, we have an amazingly responsive IT helpdesk. Downtime is minimal (VPN might be exception;)).

Cons

- As I understand, only managers and above can get standing desks - Sometimes difficult to work with the VPN (remote) - Training with respect to Biz Dev - _________________________ (you fill in...can't think of anything else)

Pros

There is a path toward advancement, so if you're interested in putting in the long hours and sticking with it, you'll eventually be promoted. And that in and of itself is a pro, that's one of the only ones I can think of.

Cons

Worked at Andersen Tax in Boston, I really disliked it at the time. The company culture is very gossipy, a fair amount of the managers and directors were condescending, unnecessarily harsh etc. And trust me, that feeling is common among associates. There was a very high rate of turnover for the year I worked there.
