Armanino reviews

Micro management - they read all your emails, time entry. etc. You get calls from the team 8:30 am. You get pings as well. Budget must be follow dollar to dollar for each level. You better not surprise your boss for the time you charged. if you do, you are probably already doomed. audit are negative because their huge turn over. same goes with tax because their pod schedule are not followed and no one know what they are working on except a few of the favored team member. no well-being subsidy. no internet cell phone reimburse. you get your pay check, profit sharing, and that's it. Unlimited PTO is a scam, you either abuse it or you take it. They put it as unlimited so they don't have to pay you out when you leave, learned this from my friend that works in HR. A lot of the policy at Armanino are "cheap" to save the firm $ - i.e., see my note above for well-being subsidy. etc undecisive management and does not agree on basic things like whether the team s/b working from home or hybrid. even you manage to get on the one public client account, you would be stressing about billable hours goal because there are not enough work, for the record, you fight your team for hours.

I only speak for the San Ramon Location. Well about 9 people have left in 6 months so use your imagination. I wasn't a disgruntled employee coming back on here to vent just telling it like it is. I think there is potential within the tax department to become better than how the reviews are currently being reflected on here. However as it currently stands, the culture has changed from everyone leaving the past few years. One reason is that it takes about 6-7 years to go from staff to manager here. A lot of the current managers had to wait a while so they force talent to wait their turn. If partners have issues with staff or seniors they sometimes communicate it through giving zero bonuses or no promotions instead of communicating in person. If you join you will learn in person what issues exist. There are not a lot of firms in the east bay which may be a reason why talent across all levels is underwhelming. If you are talented be prepared to work and if they like you they will compensate you well. At the same time, be ready for some drama.
