Pros

Great education tools, higher learning options, and flexible wfh schedules.

Cons

Bad management and training, no communication or inclusion, low pay, really disrespectful company to employees, no HR, management talks down to employees and doesn’t allow them to have a voice or thoughts of their own. Fascism is the leading way here.

Pros

Decent health insurance benefits for family

Cons

Literally everything. If your current firm gets bought out, run far away and don’t accept a position. They'll call it a merge - but it’s 100% a buyout because your partners will have no choice on anything. Because People Matter is the farthest from the truth. Because Profits Matter is the reality. If you are below the Tax Manager level, you will never have job security. BPM plans to move almost all prep work overseas where they pay poor quality workers less than slave wages. If a client refuses offshore consent, they immediately get a steep price hike for refusing to allow their returns to get transferred to India.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. What you have described is not representative of the culture we strive to create. There are a few points in your feedback that we need to address. We are committed to building a global team of qualified professionals who help address our clients' needs around the clock. The location of our colleagues does not impact the fees of our clients. We take a transparent, value-driven approach to pricing that reflects the expertise, technology, and efficiencies we bring to our work. Pricing adjustments, when they occur, are based on the complexity of the return, scope of work, and overall service needs. We are committed to paying fair compensation where our employees reside. We felt it was important to address these items out of respect to our colleagues, near and far. We are truly sorry that this is how you felt about your experience with BPM. We wish you the best in your future career.
