Pros

Some colleagues are genuinely nice and supportive. The office location is convenient. Major CPA firm experience

Cons

Leadership Only Cares About Profits: The company claims to prioritize employees, but actions speak louder than words. Leadership is focused solely on maximizing profits, with little regard for employee well-being. Terrible Work-Life Balance: Despite the company’s claims of being "employee-friendly," the work-life balance is practically nonexistent. Long hours and unrealistic expectations are the norms, leading to burnout and stress. Toxic Work Environment: Bullying from several leaders is rampant, and there is little to no accountability for their actions. This toxic atmosphere has led to an increase in work-related stress, and many employees suffer from mental health issues as a result. Unjust Terminations: Recently, the company abruptly fired several long-term employees without any notice or warning. This lack of job security and respect for dedicated employees is alarming. Poor Compensation: The pay is simply not worth the toll this job takes on your mental and physical health. The stress and anxiety that come with working here far outweigh any financial benefits. In addition gender pay inequity is not addressed. Advice to Management: It’s time to rethink your priorities. Start genuinely caring about your employees, foster a positive work environment, and value the people who contribute to your success. The current culture is unsustainable, and the reputation of the company will continue to suffer if these issues are not addressed.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
