Pros

McGladrey & Pullen has the best cultural environment I have yet to see in a public accounting firm.

Cons

The down side to M&P is the poor mid-level management communication and ability to execute projects in a timely manner. Also, in many departments there are certain cliques (public accounting this is the norm) that seem to be able to determine the fate of other employees based on their ability to fit into their cliques, when in fact such decisions should be based on merit.

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.
