Pros

Truthfully, there are very few good reasons to work at this company. If you are spending the time working do not waste your time here, this will be the job you remove from your resume.

Cons

RSM is a second tier firm and unfortunately their clients treat RSM like a second tier firm. It is one thing to move to a second tier firm and get a big boost in pay (you won't get this either) but it is another to move to a second tier firm and be treated like you work at a second tier firm. The culture is an "old boys club" and if you are not white and a bit overweight you will not be accepted. The company does not retain top talent, top talent comes and leaves very quickly. Very high matriculation. Lack of methodology and support, training is outsourced, computers provided are very cheap, the office supplies are minimal, don't expect any type of swag, be prepared to sign your life away for a thumb drive.

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.
