Avantages
You can get a lot of experience very quickly. Lots of opportunity to travel and see the world. Lower level partners take and interest in their staff (note they don't make decisions anymore)
Inconvénients
There are too much politics with this firm. This firm was like a family until ex-Andersen partners came on board now it is like a bad Big-4 want a be. Promotions are based on favoritism. Senior Partners lied to the firm when they announced no more layoffs then proceed to cut Executives, Senior Manager and Managers 2 months later. Management will never admit they made mistakes but they will try to make changes to correct their errors. Several of the subject matter experts in the firm have been let go or have quit leaving inexperienced staff and the audit programs. This firm has had a major brain drain in the past 3 years which will be a problem going forward.
