Pros

The people, hands down. RSM has some very talented individuals and I feel very fortunate to say that I go into work each day looking forward to interacting with my coworkers.

Cons

Wages are not exactly adequate with demand for chargeable hours. At times the firm promotes "balance" by encouraging employees to take time away from the office, but in reality, there is no possible way to meet the administrative parts of the job, meet charge hour goals, and have time away from the office. Many firms have optional or part-time Fridays during the Summer... this is not the case at RSM. In fact, quite the opposite has been occurring this year (I have worked the past two weekends in July on both Saturdays and Sundays to make up for time missed during the week for life events when in most other situations, PTO would have been the route to take).

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.
