      Very poor rude and aggressive management, tries to be like the Big 4 but without interesting work and the rewards

      Pros

      Not too much control by senior management as they don't really know what's going on so you have a lot more freedom than the big 4. Nice canteen

      Cons

      Unfair dismissals common - staff that have spent 10years there "advised to see a lawyer" and escorted out of building!! Not a meritocracy - newer members of the team overlooked constantly Poor rewards compared to the big4 Less interesting projects than the big4 Rude and agressive middle managers HR and IT internal capabilities the worst I have seen anywhere, HR can't calculate Tax and loses key and confidentials documents as a matter of routine, IT especially the "ebusiness" team can't deliver projects Less intelligent staff than the big4

      Pros

      The firm has great technology; wide range of clients (which is a pro and con as staff have no input on which industry/client they prefer to work in).

      Cons

      Work/life balance not appropriate for mid-tier firm; pay not comparable to Big 4, but hours are nearly the same as Big 4 (2100 billable annually); management denies all morale problems and is ignorant regarding market conditions at other firms; new hires can't get the experience they need because managers are too busy and cannot teach them anything. If you desire career over work/life balance, go to Big 4; if you desire work/life balance over career, then go to a smaller firm.
