Avoid Plano

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Technical skills are valued, so strong performers can still contribute meaningfully.

Cons

Rampant favoritism and cliques affect pay and promotion decisions. At least one partner delays work until close to deadlines, creating stress and inefficiency for the Plano tax team. Often absent from the office. Compensation is lower compared to similar firms. Partner management is often dysfunctional, siloed, and inconsistent, exacerbating favoritism.
