Depends on which office/practice unit you are going to be joining. Each office has a different feel and several of them tend to feel much more big4-like than others. I imagine some of the comments above are pretty fair depending on the office they have experience in. Feel free to message me if you have questions about which offices you should avoid.

I worked there in tax almost 20 years ago to start my career. Lots and lots of hours, staff was expendable and firings were routine the day after deadlines. Comp was below market. It felt like a good old boys club because it was. I imagine they’ve probably improved since then. I hope.

Big4> BKD -> GT. Culture at BKD is hit and miss and highly detached from the market. Also, a director is more like a big4 manager.

Director1, in this said case, zero work was done. I know it may be hard to believe but nothing was done by the said person during all the hours charged.
