Vantaggi
I've found the culture at BR fantastic. It's known in the marketplace as being the place with the friendliest people and it really is true. Moving from a Big 4 after a long time I was hesitant but it has been a great move. The technical knowledge is incredible and yet everyone remains very open to questions, explanations and is very supportive. There is a lot of support to bring your own ideas and really make an impact in the business. The exposure to intermediaries and third parties is brilliant (especially compared to Big 4 where new work tended to come internally). There is a great network who are all well connected and even within the short time I've been here I have made some key contacts.
Svantaggi
Perhaps I haven't been here long enough but I struggle to find cons. I was concerned the technology would be more of a struggle than at Big 4 but I've been pleasantly surprised. And given the slightly smaller nature of this business compared to Big 4, new procedures/tech etc can be quicker to be developed and implemented. Compensation is perhaps not as high as elsewhere in the market but for me personally the small gap was not enough to put me off and the pros more than make up for this.
