About This Trend
Big 4 refers to the four largest international accounting and professional services firms: Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC. These firms are the largest global accounting networks measured by revenue and provide a range of services including auditing, consulting, and tax advisory.
The Big 4 are currently trending due to discussions around their work culture, costs, and the risks associated with hiring them. Recent conversations highlight both the benefits, such as career development and networking opportunities, and the challenges, including toxic work environments and high contract costs, which have sparked debates about their value in the current market.
