Andersen reviews

This is the type of firm that markets itself as different from other accounting firms. But really it isn't. Don't believe what they might try to sell you in a job post or interview. This is also the type of firm that fires a hard-working pregnant woman or doesn't hire a qualified intern for a full-time position because of a rumor that he/she didn't wash their hands in the bathroom. And those are just examples. There is no work/life balance. Turnover is high. No one takes the time or effort to teach or train. But upper management expects you to know everything and reprimands you if you don't. As a manager, if you do take the time to unofficially train the staff, you also get in trouble for it because you're spending too much time. Office politics, nepotism and rumors run rampant. Partners generally don't care about their staff, colleagues or even their clients. They only care about themselves. Overall, it was an unhealthy work environment and several current employees agree.

1) Its an accounting firm - the work can be tedious and some of the clients have huge egos
