Laid off without cause – deeply disappointed by the firm’s treatment of employees - Tax Associate Armanino Employee Review

I was laid off without any performance-related explanation or warning — no PIP, no feedback, no indication that my position was in jeopardy. The decision felt abrupt, unjustified, and completely lacking in transparency. Despite the firm’s public image of “people-first values,” my experience was quite the opposite. Leadership’s communication during the process was vague and cold, offering no meaningful support or rationale. It’s one thing to be impacted by restructuring or performance-based cuts — it’s another to be dismissed without cause, after showing up and doing the work every day. If you’re considering working here, be aware: loyalty and effort do not guarantee job security at Armanino.
