RIP EKS&H

Pros

Very little to speak of here. Just another accounting firm. Good stepping stone to private job like any big firm is.

Cons

Unwind the merger. EKS&H was the standard and now unfortunately is just part of a generic big accounting firm. Big brother feel to everything.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Both Plante Moran and EKS&H have always shared a strong, similar foundation. There’s a true consistency between our core values, philosophy, and cultural alignment — making us stronger together, rather than apart. Since our combination, it’s been our goal to continue the legacy of world-class culture of both firms.

Pros

Diverse client base with many opportunities to learn new things that one wouldn't see at a smaller firm. Good opportunities to grow and spread your wings.

Cons

If you fit into their conservative culture, you will do well. If you aren't conservative, it's not for you. Salary in Chicago tends to be on the low end and career path message isn't always clear. People tend to avoid the honest conversations that would benefit people the most.

Pros

When I left, it was not because Plante was a bad place to work. They were a great place to work. I had the pleasure of working in multiple offices, and each one not only had great people to work with, but they had each offered me ample opportunity to succeed. Some other pros are: - Flexibility to work in multiple offices. This includes the ability to transfer, as well as the ability to "work" a substantial amount of time in another office (I had spent all of December in another city and was able to work in the local Plante office). - Upward mobility in your career, as well as a lot of autonomy over your schedule - "March Madness" ping pong tournament during busy season - The pay was very competitive for the public accounting industry - Involvement in various different parts of the company (audit, tax, recruiting, etc.) - Constant feedback on career progress, as well as a lot of training resources. - The firm really does invest in your career. This is not only financially through training, but they have a great mentorship/leadership program. There were several times where I felt they were more in touch with my career and career needs than I was. - Great reputation in the Midwest, including now in Chicago.

Cons

All good things also have downsides. Here are a few: - While compensation is competitive, raises are standard, no matter what, your first several years. - The actual work itself is not very fulfilling/challenging. This is not a knock on Plante, but more a comment on the industry in general. It is much easier reviewing someone else's work than making it yourself. - Compensation is POOR, when compared to the private industry - A lot of long hours. This is expected in public accounting, though.
