Pros

Challenging work Some nice people Modern work office Location is okay

Cons

Very cheap on meals for the busy seasons The management people and partner treat us like we are just a number and not human. All about hour, hours, hours They promise many things but do not ever follow thru Hard to get promote or appreciation unless you are a favorite Horrible job at communicating information with the staff people. Have to wait until late Tuesday nights for update from main partner Many many pointless meetings that get in way of real work People who slack off get free pass and busy bees have to help them with their picking up slack If you give constructive feedback or suggest ways to be better they take offense (partnr will not like my review) Do not let intern work overtime - they will not accept ft offer for this reasons. I asked Office manager sends email at starting of busy season to tell you how to spend your lunch hours so you work more Bonuses are laughable. If someone quit, even if worked at RSM many many years, they are told to just leave and not stay for the last 2-weeks - how can you expect any one to believe you respect employees when this is done??? Very sad, depressed mood overall in the office Workspace is too noisy Main thing - no appreciation. You can do good job and care for what you are doing but it will not even cross partners mind unless someone tells them to show appreciation

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.
