Pros

Fair compensation for the industry and area. SF office has a very collaborative attitude. Reviews and promotion opportunities every 6 months allows you to get advanced promotions.

Cons

Public accounting is just a lot of work anywhere you go. Vesting schedule for employer match is pretty long, you only get 20% vested a year with no cliff. Transparency is talked about a lot but has gone way down, when they fired people in early 2020 they asked them not to send a farewell email and "just let your friends know". I'm also not a huge fan of the photos of Black professionals on our LinkedIn that are stock photos. The whole company is pretty White/Asian, which is the accounting industry in general but why put up stock photos to pretend we are more diverse than we are, seems sleazy.

Thank you for your candor. Prior to switching to a remote work environment, BPM has always had a very collaborative office experience. We pride ourselves on selecting diverse candidates who want to grow within our firm. We provide promotional and growth opportunities several times throughout the year and this is what sets us apart from other firms. BPM continues to celebrate diversity & inclusion initiatives in the workplace and we are excited for additional opportunities in 2021 to remain a top employer. I would love to hear more about your experience. Please reach out to Rblasi@bpmcpa.com (Chief People Officer)

Good culture and people, genuinely many easy people to work with. Make sure to do CPA because they force you to take it

A lot of managers can be micro managers which can ruin your time on an engagement, especially during busy season. also you can't really negotiate salary
