Pros

Flexible WFH, free public transportation, down to earth employees, partially because most of the employees here graduated from average or below average colleges

Cons

Not competitive salaries, low 401k contributions, low bonus target. Last year salary increased by 0.5% while inflation increased 4%. Top management focusing on margins and using Indian team. Extremely uneven salaries ranges among same level and similar performance. Seriously, I overheard people talking about public accounting in an airport one time and he said good ones go to big 4, but if you are really desperate, go to RSM.

Pros

They try to stay loyal to their people Unlikely to be laid off if performance is good Supportive of internal mobility to a point. Varies on manager Great company for people coming out of college for gaining experience as long as they don't plan to make a career at RSM and Directors/Partners

Cons

Comp has been less in recent years due to economic environment which is already not competitive with industry No opportunities to negotiate pay during performance evaluation. You are just a number Continual efforts to normalize excellence. Going above and beyond is now a contingency for being promoted. This makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate oneself Spent 1 billion on AI investments. Hard to really see where it went apart from Copilot and the smaller pay bump.
