A2 here. Only interned with B4 but from my experience culture is much better. From day one I felt Andersen cares about their people. WLB is decent for me personally (but will depend on service line, I am not in tax). Salaries are on par with B4, some service lines exceed B4 even I believe. The firm is also expanding rapidly with a lot of exciting things in the pipeline which will create opportunities for advancement and exploration for staff imo.

Depends on the office. Good friend is a partner there (left B4 to go there). He said in his office the staff/seniors are barely doing 1500 chargeables a year and even right now they’re struggling to get to 50/week.
