      Pros

      hands-on experience and accelerated exposure to upper management; accelerated career path based on star performance

      Cons

      ego-maniac CEO who creates an unnecessarily seemingly competitive environment which is really counter-productive; out of the click if know nothing about sports or if not off the charts in terms of chargeability. totally incompetent HR team. Summary of culture: a bunch of cronies!

      Pros

      I wanted a place to learn some basics and this was it.

      Cons

      They grind you up and beat you down to exceed billing minimums. Onboarding process in SF is weak. CEO is known as adept only at taxes, not with people. People just smile at him and listen to him held captive, because he is the CEO. Then they shake their heads. Technology falls drastically behind their competitors. Rumors about the longevity of the firm swirl. Older MDs are sorely out of touch. Younger MDs were promoted very quickly, some say too quickly.

      Pros

      The building is a nice facility and located in a great location. My incoming class of new hires I became especially close with out of solidarity.

      Cons

      WTAS is a glittering example of how not to run a company. Hours of work during "busy season" (tax deadline season twice a year) are more than investment banking hours. Management mismanages client work and fails to communicate the urgency of needed client documents. Management and leadership care little about your professional development and merely seek to maintain their book of business from the Anderson days. Turnover speaks for itself, as it surpassed 40% when I was employed there. I've been told other offices are better with culture, learning, and hours. Los Angeles is the black sheep of the corporate family. Looking back, I see WTAS as waste of of my professional time.
