[quote=Anonymous]Big 4 firm

Extremely family friendly, but many of us work long hours - work hard, play hard.

Flex work arrangements and telework in every group in our firm. I work 3 days from home, 2 days in the office or client.

Maternity leave starts two weeks before your due date. You get 6 weeks post-birth maternity (plus two more for multiples or c section) 4 weeks parental leave (men get 3 weeks parental leave) and 4.5 weeks of vacation. If you are out on maternity leave for 6 or more months, then you can elect to carry over your review rating from the prior year.

We don't get all the federal holidays, but we get 2 floating holidays. Plus the firm shuts down from Christmas Eve to January 2nd every year (we have to use 2 days of our vacation during this break, but the rest is holiday leave). And it really does shut down. Client requests are addressed and people keep things moving forward, but internal emails cease, and you really do not start new projects or expect people to work during this time. We also get extra days around the Fourth of July.

Adoptions provide for 6 weeks of family leave.
