Pros

Schellman is one of the best places to work. Coming from the big4, it is a completely different environment and culture. There is almost no corporate nonsense that gets you stuck spending the most of your day doing admin work, answering emails, and attending pointless meetings. The work is meaningful and you are truly adding value to your clients (and they appreciate it). The projects are quick and you are constantly moving around and doing new things, working on different projects, and meeting and interacting with new clients. You are given a lot of responsibility and have the opportunities to get involved in different aspects within the company. Schellman hires the best - in order to do that, they pay above market, and offer benefits unlike I have heard of at other companies (as seen in other reviews). You are not just a number at Schellman, and have the ability to truly make an impact on the company. They are very transparent to their employees, they go over how the company is doing financially, and other aspects such as recruiting, technology, how you quarterly bonuses are calculated, etc. They don't give nonsense answers when something goes awry. They tell the truth, and keep their employees informed of management decisions and the thought process. Overall, if you want to work in a talented, fast-paced environment this is the place for you.

Cons

It is a very fast paced environment, with project deadlines almost every 2-3 weeks. It is not for everyone, so be aware of this prior to joining. Clients can sometimes delay, causing the work load to increase and be unpredictable at periods. This is really out of their control, so if you hate it that much then don't be in a client facing business.

Top-notch Team!

Pros

Truly a team-oriented environment across all levels. Compensation is top notch, and benefits are even better. Growth is encouraged and fostered along with a solid mentorship program.

Cons

It is challenging to keep up with client demand/growth as it relates to recruiting since Schellman only hires experienced candidates with requisite experience. This limits the pool but in the end provides stronger team members.

Team Mentality

Pros

No ivory towers here. Everyone is approachable in the firm. Principals and Senior Managers have hands-on participation in projects and take active roles in guidance and career development for employees. Senior Associates can email, IM, or call Principals to ask questions just as easy as they can call other Senior Associates. There is also an emphasis on "we" instead of "me". The benefits are superior compared to any other organization that I have heard.

Cons

Recruiting and quality talent acquisition is slower than demand sometimes, but team members rally to get work done when challenged with resource shortages. The pace of work is sometimes hectic and certainly not for everyone.
