      Not a Great Time - Software Developer Sikich Employee Review

      Pros

      Gain experience with a lot of different features in the technology. You will learn a lot because you work a lot.

      Cons

      Billable hours are all that are cared about. In my department there was absolutely no work/life balance. The pay is ok but not the best in the industry by far. Unlimited PTO is a joke. I took 7 days in one year when they boast that employees are required to take a minimum of 4 weeks. I was also made to feel like taking time off was a sin. Really hard to get clear expectations out of managers. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. PS - I have no idea how this place has won an award for being "Best Place to Work" - it must be paid for.

      Thank you for taking the time to comment. During the hiring process, managers and team leaders, with the support of our recruitment team, provide thoughtful and detailed descriptions and expectations for workload, compensation, and FTO (flexible time off). Unfortunately, certain positions are not always the right fit. If you would like to continue this conversation, our HR business partners are a great resource for questions and conversations. Thank you, again, for your input and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

      Pros

      - remote work culture that began before covid and has continued - manageable billable hour goals and doesn’t penalize employees for time on the bench between projects - did not do layoffs during government shutdown like some other firms did

      Cons

      - no formal training plan for new hires or current employees - no automatic COLA adjustments (raises are on merit only) - not a ton of diversity but is improving - multiple recent reorganizations as firm grows (impacts management, little to no impact for staff)

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and for the positive observations about our company! We agree it's a great place to work. We encourage you to reach out to your manager to learn more about the training and development opportunities available to all employees, including new hires, through Sikich University. Those courses, along with more information, are also accessible via our intranet site under the LCVista app. Thanks, again!

      Pros

      Decent place to get Federal audit experience. Good health insurance benefits

      Cons

      Salary and raises (2% raise for meeting expectations, 3% raises for exceeding expectations). Absolutely awful and doesn't even keep pace with inflation, meaning even after the raises you're financially worse off than the year prior. Principals/Management seems to be disjointed with feedback full of corporate jargon rather than substantive examples and helpful guidance. Pressures to become a Top 10/15 ($1B+ revenue) company seems to have neglected organic growth. Private Equity investment has began to transform pressures from the top down. CEO using the word "family" in regards to the company, when the treatment is anything but how you would treat family.
