Low Transparency, High Expectations

Senior tax associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to cut your teeth as an associate/preparer. Lots of return variety, in type, industry and scale. Good level of firm activities and social engagement, relatively relaxed atmosphere. Seem to offer market competitive benefits and compensation.

Cons

Intense hours in busy season, expectations will average 55-65 hours a week during busy season, but you may work more than that. Expected to be in office- no official hybrid or WFH scheduling, it is all discretionary. Poor work-life balance. Lots of favoritism and office politics. Moderate turnover. Unclear standards between books of business. Management is unforgiving of mistakes, despite offering little training.
