Pros

They really mean it when they promote a work-life balance. As an employee, I get the feeling that management really does care about me and isn't just giving me lip service. The salary is VERY fair. The benefits are head and shoulders above anything I've ever had anywhere else. There is good communication from upper management all the way down the line. They make you feel like you are a part of something, not just a cog. Everyone WANTS you to succeed and really do look our for you; not just how to get ahead themselves. As cynical as I am about company events, round tables, town hall meetings, and other type events; I still truly appreciate that they are there. For me, it doesn't matter what is said at these meetings, it's the fact upper management is taking the time to say it. The message isn't as important as the fact that they take the time to deliver it themselves. The gesture is more important than the message. At RSM they expect a lot...but they give a lot in return. There is a hierarchy in the company, but it never feels like a monarchy.

Cons

RSM is a big company, and sometimes it REALLY feels that way - especially when you are trying to deal with HR or get your time straight. It's not really a downside, it is what it is.

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.
