Pros

High level of autonomy in the role over 8 years. Great co-workers. Reasonable delivery goals (Charge Hours, Billed Revenue, etc). Decent work life balance, but not as good as it was.

Cons

Much lower compensation than the Big 4 for the same role. Tone deaf C-level management announced $1B investment in AI, and then announced the Company wouldn’t fulfill its match to bonus plan. Below annual rate of inflation raises for most in 2025. New CEO seems to put AI first, former CEO understood it was the employees that generated the revenue. Like aware sometimes great management and sometimes not.

Pros

They try to stay loyal to their people Unlikely to be laid off if performance is good Supportive of internal mobility to a point. Varies on manager Great company for people coming out of college for gaining experience as long as they don't plan to make a career at RSM and Directors/Partners

Cons

Comp has been less in recent years due to economic environment which is already not competitive with industry No opportunities to negotiate pay during performance evaluation. You are just a number Continual efforts to normalize excellence. Going above and beyond is now a contingency for being promoted. This makes it increasingly difficult to differentiate oneself Spent 1 billion on AI investments. Hard to really see where it went apart from Copilot and the smaller pay bump.
