      Pros

      Local offices are full of awesome people and, for the most part, great Partners who are also leaders. Good pay, good PTO. Terrible benefits but great pay.

      Cons

      Full disclosure - 10 years at firm that was acquired last year. Spent 1 year with Citrin. No AICPA dues paid - I’ve never worked for a firm that does not pay for this. Way too focused on billable hours that cannot actually be billed. WIP does not equal revenue in all cases if you want a repeat client. Raising fees and billing crazy rates just to make the payment to the PE owners may help today, but when the client leaves, how do we make the payment next year? No focus on client service. Only increased billing. Turns down so much work because of “risks” that don’t actually exist. The firm is run by accountants and lawyers. It seems like none of them have ever spoken with a client. Mandatory RTO 4 days a week for Directors and above with pay consequences for not obeying. This includes having to scan a QR code daily, from the in-office WiFi to prove you are in the office. Professionals should be trusted. If a partner is not doing what they should be doing, get rid of the partner. Don’t punish everyone. Funny thing is I agree with the policy but not the execution. Getting to leave early on Fridays when it is not busy is cool, but it’s not a “benefit” if we have to make up the 3 hours earlier in the week. Not nearly enough investment in IT. The computers are meh, WiFi only works about 40% of the time, and there are at least 2 emails every day about a program not working. Fine with outsourcing to India, but the focus on moving everything over there is a bit over the top. Too many sticks and not nearly enough carrots. That’s now how to lead.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re glad you found value in your colleagues and our total rewards. Some of the points you raised – such as our return-to-office policy – reflect deliberate choices we’ve made to ensure accountability, fostering our culture of collaboration, accountability and mentorship of our people. We’d also further clarify that our focus on billable hours and risk management are not about short-term gain but about ensuring our firm’s long-term stability in how we service our clients with excellence, trust and integrity. While we recognize not everyone will agree with these approaches, they are grounded in our responsibility to clients, employees, and stakeholders. Like any scaling organization, we acknowledge that technology and process improvements are ongoing priorities, and we continue to invest in them. Moreover, we are fortunate to have a senior leadership team with deep industry expertise and a proven track record of guiding Citrin Cooperman through growth and change, and their guidance continues to shape our long-term strategy. We appreciate your perspective and wish you the best in your future endeavors. Kind regards, Citrin Cooperman's Human Resources Team

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. We’re glad you recognized the benefits of our New York City office location and competitive compensation, but we respectfully push back on the suggestion that our leadership does not care about the growth of our people. Our leadership team is highly experienced and is only investing further into providing opportunities for advancement, mentorship, and professional development. We also pride ourselves in the community that we create through firm-sponsored initiatives, including CC EDGE, our program committed to continuing and enhancing the firm's tradition of culture and inclusion. We’re continuing to expand our Employee Resource Groups that bring internal communities of our people across Citrin Cooperman together, and we’ll only continue to invest further into our overall culture and inclusion programming. Further, we are also quite proud of our various employee perks, which include our winter and summer hours, our sabbatical program, mental health & wellness support, discounts through our Blackstone portfolio network, various local office events, pet insurance and many, many more. We thank you for your contributions and wish you the very best moving forward. Kind regards, Citrin Cooperman's Human Resources team

      Terrible place but nice people

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Everyone is really nice and helpful when you need help.

      Cons

      There are just so many. 1) Management says they listen but will turn down any ideas that cost the firm any money. If it doesn't cost them anything (the employees pay for or bring their own) is usually when it gets approved. 2) The benefits are non existent. Examples below: 2a)There's no match only discretionary match once a year. 2b) There's no bonuses for anyone under manager 2c) Don't expect good raises for doing good work. Each level has a small set "Min-Max" that you can get each year. 2d) The 7.5 hour workday is a gimmick. You won't be working those few hours 90% of the year. 3) HR is nice but they constantly break their own deadlines of when stuff they need to get us stuff but are on us like hawks, send emails everyday about the stuff they need (like time entry).
