Pros

I was in the fraud and forensic accounting department. I gained a lot of different experience in many programs and industries. For the most part, the work was interesting.

Cons

No say in where I would be working geographically. Managers tell you you won't be reviewed based on margin but you are, that's all they care about. A lot of competition to get promoted. A lot of unethical behavior which is the culture there. If one word were to sum up the company and the people working there it would be mediocre.

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.
