Vantaggi

Some (not many) of the colleagues are truly competent, so you can learn a lot by working with them.

Svantaggi

The company is like a chiefdom with the chieftains (partners) fighting for the same business with each other - very little internal cooperation. Partners have no leadership skills or strategic thinking, the only strategy the company has is to grow revenue and to become the 'envy of all' (which by the way is not a strategy, more like an overall vision). Some partners have even gaps in their knowledge of their own subject matter. Partners are very skilled though in saving money in employees' salaries, working conditions etc. People who get ahead in this organisation are those who behave like the partners, not the ones with the smartest, innovative ideas or the best quality of work. Also face time is highly valued even if not productive. There is a lot of talk about the company values but they are openly violated all the time. Worse than KPMG in other countries.

Vantaggi

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Svantaggi

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
