Andersen reviews

there are always tons of work and deadline, which are typical in this profession and in a big company. Yet, when it is so rush, it gives less chances for you to review and really learn/understand what you just prepared. The stress is there, but you will learn how to deal with it.

All of the pros end up being cons as well...... 1. Just because you are assigned to a certain group doesn't mean you don't have to work on other clients. Basically you end up working on everything outside your assigned group and a ton more from your assigned group. Ohh.. Lucky, lucky you! 2. Like what others have mentioned, you may be a senior with a bachelor degree but you'll end up making less than a new associate with a law degree. What about raises? What about bonuses? That money already went to the firm's huge expansion plan. Next question please. 3. Going on vacation is great but what's better is you get to work after hours and on the weekends until you finish all the work that was supposed to be done while you were away. 4. Accounting and tax are not super intuitive concepts but you can't help but wonder why and how they remain to be foreign languages for some people in the office. 5. The budget has been cut for entertainment. Most of that money went to recruiting and activities for the intern. Why? They foresee huge turnover and decided to invest in minions. 6. Ever had a demanding boss that gives you a huge project and wants it in an hour? Think about having 10 or 20 of them pulling you in different directions.
