Decent place to work

Pros

Remote work for the most part. Teams usually consist of knowledgeable and helpful individuals. Benefits and PTO flexibility are better than average.

Cons

Project managers seems overworked. I've spoken to project managers who have said they've been on as many as 7 projects at once. The standard 2.5% annual pay increase does not even cover the cost of living adjustment for this year. With high performance reviews and no bonuses (or information on how to earn bonuses aside from "submitting timesheets daily") it feels almost insulting. After taxes, my 2.5% raise amounts to roughtly $50 more each pay period. So I effectively have less spending power this year than I did last year because management has decided to base pay increases on the low end of the scale, which is disappointing to say the least.

Thank you for your comment. We believe that rewarding and recognizing excellent work is in the best interest of the company and all team members. Sikich conducts regular compensation benchmarking that shows our pay ranges are at least at or, in many cases, above the 50th percentile. To arrive at our comparisons, we utilize only best practice, industry-standard salary surveys that appropriately account for our business lines and geographies and are accumulated from our actual peer set. These market compensation benchmarks take cost of living into account. Sikich operates on a merit-based compensation system. We calculate an overall company salary increase pool based on company performance, and then allocate individual raises based on a number of factors like company and individual performance. If you have questions about this, we encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner. They can dive into this with you. Thank you, again, for commenting.

Thank you for this feedback. We genuinely appreciate this kind of insight. We do regular industry benchmarking for compensation to ensure competitive pay and benefits, which we believe has contributed to below industry turnover rates at our organization.

Pros

Great manager, lots of opportunities to learn new skills, ability to make small changes in processes, can take time off relatively easily

Cons

Company’s ability to vet technical expertise, managers set bad examples for work/life balance, good ol’ boy relationships with some clients and leadership, no discernible personal influence over small bonuses, middle management can be unskilled and untrustworthy
