Pros

RSM did such a good job during COVID with the employees, bonuses, raises, gifts, and grants. You won't regret the accounting/finance/IT experience you get with RSM.

Cons

RSM is not different from any other public accounting firm as far as feeling undervalued, underpaid, and constantly critiqued. That's just how public accounting culture is. You work you butt off for other people and don't get recognized because you're stuck in structured promotion cycles. Do your time, and get out. Also, there is 0 diversity at RSM especially in Boston.

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.
