Pros

We have a great culture within the office, everyone gets on and is friendly and welcoming. There is a social committee that regularly arranges events such as pool and pizza nights, annual beer bus, quiz and chips, meals and drinks after work, and our annual sports day in which mixed office teams compete (to name a few). This is a great opportunity to get to know and socialize with people from other offices. In regards to opportunity, RSM provides a fantastic student trainee scheme for both school leavers and graduates in which they can earn while they learn, gaining practical experience as they work towards their professional qualifications. This can lead to many career opportunities once qualified. Additionally, RSM has a vast array of benefits split into three sections: Core, Flexible & Recognition. As well as these, colleagues have the opportunity to buy or sell holiday and are eligible for the RSM company sick pay and a maternity pay scheme.

Cons

Still overcoming the rebrand form Baker Tilly to RSM

Pros

- As assurance associate that came over from another public accounting firm, some pros are the ability to work with several different teams. - Hybrid, 2-4 days in office - Learn from senior associates - At my last acct firm never did inventory observations, so got the chance to see what that was like here at RSM

Cons

- Some seniors associates aren’t able to explain or teach which plays a part in your development as a first year associate or intern. I feel first year, intern should be able to leave feedback on senior associates. As if I’m having trouble with a senior who am I supposed to go, due to the hierarchy system they have implemented at RSM. - Can be Clicky & your colleagues will be friends in your face and talk behind you behind your back, I’ve seen it happen to others so I’m pretty sure it happened to me. Houston office can be toxic - Hierarchy system, leave people thinking with senior job titles that they are above you and you can be treated like sh*t - Favortism, you don’t have an equal chance here, because every first year is not put in the same position to succeed. Some first years are able to work closely with partners and the same colleagues but different clients which is where they can have the opportunity to build great relationships while some have to bounce from senior to senior having to learn for each client and adapt to how the senior wants the job done which in turn doesn’t help build relationships. As one can senior want something done such as accounts payable one way then you get to another client and the senior wants accounts payable done another way which makes you look bad in their eyes. Which doesn’t set you up for success at all and can overall lead to a layoff.
