Pros

The only good thing about Baker Tilly Detroit is the other staff. The staff supported each other when the managers were not helpful.

Cons

Note above I said only the staff because anyone above the staff level have issues. Managers and Partners expect new hires to learn quickly (first project it is not okay to learn from) and if they don't then they are shunned for the remainder of the time they are working at Baker Tilly. I consistently saw staff used as the scapegoat and managers never took responsibility for their lack of accounting knowledge, which a lot of them lack. The only time I saw a staff on the tax side get promoted was if they threatened to quit. Unfortunately I feel like my career as well as my fellow staff's careers regressed. Sadly this was not a good first experience. I recommend looking at other accounting firms.

Pros

There is room left to build and have an impact. The quality of coworker is fantastic.

Cons

After a PE deal in 2025 and significant merger with Moss Adams in 2026, significant restructuring has reduced headcount in People Solutions and work seems to be shifting to India.
