Pros
Benefits are very good for the market.
Cons
In my 20+ year career, I have not worked for such a large company that is stuck in 1985 from a technology and leadership perspective. In the past year, more than 6 people have left the Shared Services organization. All have worked there for less than a year. Most have cited dated technology and poor leadership/toxic work environment for leaving. Shared Services is a revolving door and has difficulty recruiting internally and externally. If you want to use dated and irrelevant systems, Andersen is the place for you. There are multiple ERPs which do not "talk" to each other, thus making basic tasks incredibly difficult. Ironically, a key "pillar" of the company's value is "innovation", however the technology used by the company is not relevant. Not one company locally uses the financial systems Andersen does. Leadership completely lacks vision to get with the times because so many have worked there for so long. Nepotism at the company is unreal and stifles growth and innovation. Many family and friends work there which is NOT a good thing. I was warned by multiple to be careful what you say because you may be commenting on things worked on by someone's, wife, brother, sister, cousin, husband, niece, nephew, etc. How does that help a company? How can you move the company forward by not offending a friend or family? Finally, when leaders say, "Don't be offended, but...." and then go on to say something offensive, you should no longer be a leader. This is a company that is slowly burning to the ground. Leadership lacks the vision and determination to take this company into the 21st century. A house cleaning is needed to make the place less toxic.
