Pros

Rank and file employees are generally great.

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the high Glassdoor ratings like I was. Ask yourself why a firm that’s been around for 9+? years has only grown to a fraction of the size (revenue and headcount) of other competitors. The executive team are all C players at best and it shows in virtually every aspect of the business. We’re seen in the market as providing very inconsistent service (that partially explains the slow growth), have made minimal investment in people, process, and technology, and there is little to no coherent strategy around our service capabilities, growth, or commitment to creating inclusion and belonging amongst our employees. Finally, management continues to promote people who have no business being in leadership positions and who are completely out of their depth even at a smaller firm like this. I can’t in good faith endorse working here. Do yourself a favor. Do better somewhere else.

Pros

Some of the coworkers are cool & intelligent

Cons

My time at this company has been deeply disappointing. The touted family culture feels fake, the benefits are lacking, and upper management is inconsistent. Feeling appreciated is rare, as the promises of support often prove empty. Regrettably, this organization also fostered a culture of shaming and criticism, even for minor mistakes. Such an environment breeds anxiety and depression, making it nearly impossible to thrive and perform at one's best. In summary, the absence of a genuine culture, inadequate benefits, inconsistent management, and a toxic working environment have made it impossible to deem this job as fulfilling. A.k.a run don’t walk!!!

Pros

- Great empathetic leaders that treat team members like humans rather than Big 4 cogs. Received a lot more guidance and in turn, a lot more responsibility than at the Big 4, and it resulted in more growth and knowledge retention in a shorter period of time. - The firm looks out for the people, the tone at the top is a collaborative one where they want to hear from the employees, they do a great job of responding to the needs or questions from employees. - If you're looking to develop your skill set in technical accounting, this is as good as it gets. The teams here are smart, and they really help develop your conceptual thinking rather than just getting you to fill out work papers or blindly copy and paste guidance. - Compensation is fair and competitive.

Cons

- Hours are variable, might be long depending on what projects entail, but I've never had a problem taking PTO or having to step out briefly for any surprise circumstances. I've never felt pressure to "eat hours" for management while working here. - There was some management previously which made me reconsider working at the firm, but they have since left. During that period, I made my concerns known to management, and I switched teams almost immediately. Can't ask for a better solution.
