Pros

Some good people here, but there are everyone and quite honestly they didn't stack up to the Big 4 or boutique consulting firms I have worked for in the past. As with most big firms, there are opportunities to learn and network.

Cons

Short-term view of the world. As with most firms, they'll do everything to protect/benefit the partnership at all costs - if you're not one then you're on the chopping block at all times. They are bleeding cash due to horrendous audit revenues this year. Do a search for "Deepwater Horizon & McGladrey" - maybe clients are waking up. They are not a Big firm - they are an amalgamation of lots of little firms and their horrendous internal systems and processes show that. They constantly pay less than market rates - they reneged on a promised bonus for me and low-balled every person I hired for my team. Finally, their medical plan is just awful.

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.
