Pros

some of the people were great, my direct manager was great I guess I got lucky by having one of the few that actually cared.

Cons

Many managers are not equipped to actually lead and be supportive. Andersen completely lost their way through the pandemic by laying off some of their best people to "weather the storm" and then bringing some of them back and treating them like garbage, not humans. They laid off all their contractors which made up a large population of IT and then left the rest of us to scramble. Then they furloughed all employees, then laid of 10% of full time employees. They then snuck some of their contractors back in because they knew they "messed up" and lied to the others about how they will make sure to take care of their full timers first. The people are worked to death and not supported and the on-call support is an absolute nightmare. I know some people that have worked 30+ days straight yet told they are aren't approved for a promotion. HR refers you to a manager for help and managers refer you to HR so you get the run around. There is no phycological safety because when people try to speak up and voice concerns or even FACTS, they are told to be quiet. I know people that still work there that had to prove themselves for several years without getting one single promotion. Andersen claims to be all for diversity, equity, inclusion yet I don't see that represented well in IT management and leadership or even how they value their people and lack of creating diverse teams. I know people who have bravely come to management to ask for support and resources and got nothing, no help. Either Andersen is uneducated or they simply don't care. Both are bad.

Pros

The people are down to Earth and friendly. Generations of families have called this place home and it is not uncommon to find people who have worked for Andersen for multiple decades. Great history and tradition exists at Andersen. Compensation is strong and the benefits are middle of the road.

Cons

The company is operating in silos, which makes the culture a challenge. Management needs to focus on breaking the walls down so we can operate for the better of the company. Growth expectations and tools to achieve them do not match. Onboarding is non-existent and tribal knowledge is rampant. Many strategies are flavor of the week and it is illustrated from almost weekly organizational changes that are hampering growth vs. expectations. Not consistently given the tools needed to achieve success.

Pros

Great co-workers. Mostly good management. Decent benefits. Some flexibility.

Cons

Questionable middle management. Misogynistic environment, poor HR practices. Observed a supervisor frequently include racist/sexist memes in weekly meeting slides (ie. Mexican word of the day). Heard a supervisor tell co-worker that he didn't think women with children should be in the workforce. Witnessed fallout after a group of female employees reported a supervisors behavior to HR and HR informed supervisor of the report after which one of the reporting employees was terminated while others were pulled aside for individual reviews.
