Pros

Generous PTO policy, interaction with client at staff level

Cons

It's a new office so some growing pains are inevitable, but there are systemic problems in senior management. Leadership inflexible about scheduling PTO during busy season and other times of the year, even when staff experience physical and mental stress from job. Senior manager doesn't show face at client and takes personal time off while staff forced to run the job. Office uses resources for perks and to locate in the city rather than better training its less experienced staff. Little to no on-the-job support from senior management to help setup staff for success. Senior manager delays work reviews creating a backlog of work for staff and then blames staff for blowing the budget. Senior manager plays favorites and uses scare tactics to convince former staff to stay at the company.

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.
