Pros

- great exposure to high net worth engagements - lots of opportunities to work with upper management - you will be surrounded by smart, motivated and career driven individuals - You get the "Big Four feel" in a smaller setting - If you are all in on your career, you will be given the attention and guidance to advance - the Firm has a buddy, mentor system to encourage teamwork - the Firm sponsors plenty of after work events to celebrate hard work

Cons

- The commercial practice is still developing, there's simply not enough go-to experts to provide assistance. The commercial side is still developing a workpaper to be used Firm-wide. - There really isn't much work/life balance (unless your work is your life). If you have other priorities outside work (that have equal or greater importance), it is very difficult to balance your priorities without sacrificing something (sleep, time with loved ones). - Office environment from top to bottom consists of cliques. If you have no desire to "join" a clique, you will find yourself very isolated. - Quite behind on technology. The technology available is sufficient for high net worth individual clients, but it is currently not good enough for commercial engagements.

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.
