Pros

Job security. Its almost guaranteed you will have a job if you work 12 hours a week including weekends during January- April 30.

Cons

Most of the managers are toxic bunch. You work 12 hour weeks and do everything you can. When it comes to evaluation the mangers will always bash the seniors and staff to make an excuse why the audit was not completed on time when its the managers fault. The managers are over worked and they review a day or two before the deadline and leave 100 review notes to be cleared which leaves no time for the team to clear all those notes. Some of the comments are: "why is this work paper saying 2019 ? Are we auditing 2019 or 2020 ? You need to do better reviewing your own work" petty stuff like that. A lot of staff and seniors quit after getting 1 or 2 years experience. The firm claims there is a lot of opening due to the firm is growing. That is a lie. There is opening cuz ppl quit. Advise : join only if you are desperate and if you can't land any other job.

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.
