No support in advancing - unless you are from the Midwest
Pros
Supposedly investing heavily into automation technology but have never seen ROI numbers.
Cons
- Airdropping midwest management down into "satellite" offices or leadership positions without the requisite local connections or technical expertise, respectively. - Giving less deserving and less knowledgeable midwest up and comers a shot at success over local talent. - Very little diversity at the partner level for a global accounting firm. No POC in any leadership positions regionally or nationally. - Too conservative in betting on people that show good track records but that do not fit the Crowe template (i.e. homogenous) - Nepotism is rife within the firm, especially at the partner level - Below market pay - Conservative nature of management and the firm does not allow for timely public dissemination of knowledge or thought leadership.
