Vantaggi
A lot of nice people. Hours are pretty standard for public accounting. Not the worst place to work.
Svantaggi
The office still has a small Long Island family firm mindset. The business unit is losing money because many of the partners only have bad business that should be fired as clients. You are holding all of your employees to higher standards and making them do a higher quality of work (understandable) and yet the partners still cannot get a higher quality client. I don't know how many times I have heard some variation of "We are a bigger firm now we cannot do things like that anymore" directed at a staff or senior, yet the partners seem to be conducting business in the same exact way they have in the past. This most recent merger, HRR to BT, then picking up PB has been one long growing pain, except there has been no growth, and it all went down how many years ago now? And there is still miscommunication between the separate factions and a gap in certain methodologies. They trimmed some of that fat at the top, but it hasn't worked out as well as they hoped it would have.
