Pros

Mostly good people Better than commuting into DC Pretty good resources Balance between big and small firm feel

Cons

Recruiters will brag about work-life balance at CohnReznick. That is a lie. It's public accounting at the 10th largest such firm in the country. You will work 60-70+ hours a week during busy times and around client deadlines. Health benefits are terrible. Dental even worse. You will be underpaid here - the pay is significantly lower than other, similar firms Staffing issues galore due to mass exoduses, probably due to the above Mixed messages and unclear visions/expectations galore Terrible office/team favoritism - worse than normal amounts

Pros

The environment is great. Partners and Directors are very supportive. And we get a lot of holidays.

Cons

Sometimes we lose good people because there are only limited promotion opportunities.

Pros

The remote/hybrid work environment provides a good level of flexibility and work-life balance. The health insurance benefits are decent, and the firm offers a generous holiday schedule.

Cons

Compensation is low relative to the workload and expectations. Employees who leave are often not replaced, resulting in their responsibilities being distributed among remaining team members. This has led to increased workloads, burnout, and a feeling of being overworked and underpaid. Frequent budget cuts create additional challenges by limiting resources and support while expectations continue to increase. The 401(k) match is also significantly below what many comparable firms offer. Overall, morale has suffered as teams are expected to do more with fewer people and fewer resources.
