Pros

This office has a broad base of clients and offers good opportunities to work on various areas of tax preparation. Hours during busy season were not bad compared to typical tax departments in other public accounting firms.

Cons

I found the tax department in the Charlotte, NC, office extremely conservative and unwelcoming to newcomers. Reviewers were more interested in embarrassing you and asserting their own superiority than explaining how you could complete the task correctly next time.

Pros

Supportive partners that care about the learning and development of their staff. They don't run a sweatshop and do care about the hours you put in.

Cons

Lots of internal politics (as is everywhere), some individuals that are close to the partners can always get by/promoted without doing much work. It's quite unfair to the rest of us.

Pros

Great Hours even during busy season, I rearly worked weekends Not as busy as Big Four Learn more about hedge funds of all sizes

Cons

Growth was stagnant, giving work and told to copy/do it as it was done the prior year, all employees not keen to reinventing the wheel. Do anything to make the client happy.
