Decent audit experience but low pay and poor management

Experienced staff auditor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Pros

Nothing is good about this company.

Cons

Promotions and raises aren’t about skill or tenure anymore. If partners don’t personally see your value, you’re stuck. Leadership used to be supportive, but now managers dodge people and dump work just to avoid writing review notes. Outsourcing has only made things worse. Work‑life balance is a joke. Everything revolves around hitting your hours, and everyone knows the only way to survive is to inflate them. Management knows it too, they just won’t admit it. That’s the culture. Staff and seniors are the only ones who actually communicate. Managers and partners barely read emails. The environment is toxic, and it’s not changing. Hours drive revenue, so if you don’t hit them, you’re at risk. But if you put too many hours into a project, that’s a problem too. It’s a no‑win system. Overall, it's very toxic and draining.
