Pros

The people are all incredibly intelligent that you will be working with. Great benefits package, continuing education (i.e. Grad School) is highly recommended and paid for, great work environment, every body is treated with respect.

Cons

The only downside to McGladrey is the compensation level. As mentioned a few times on prior reviews, it is lower than Big 4 Firms (which it should be, they are in a league of their own), but also surprisingly lower than some of the competition.

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.
