Why you want to work there
Managers at this Chicago-based accounting firm encourage workers to take advantage of nontraditional career opportunities that fit their skill sets. Because Grant Thornton is international, there are built-in opportunities for IT workers to expand their horizons. A group of U.S. IT staffers recently traveled to India to meet their counterparts, and now the two teams are able to work together much more effectively even though they're on different sides of the world.
