Vantaggi
- In my experience, the WLB was better than is expected at other major public accounting firms - Lots of opportunity for advancement at a growing firm like Aprio - Many intelligent, flexible, and generally enjoyable people to work with. - Plenty of remote opportunities; a particularly attractive option for experienced hires
Svantaggi
-Aprio is very aggressive with portraying a positive image in the media and on this website. They tell people to add Glassdoor reviews during orientation to boost ratings before you have a chance to work there. Though not explicitly stated, it is implied that you should support the firm and make a good review. Take reviews with a grain of salt -it would not surprise me if they even made reviews to improve perception. - Processes and software are constantly changing - Firm's trajectory shifting towards a more typical public accounting firm: emphasis on higher charge hours, people are more expendable, big push for offshoring and outsourcing, siloed etc - Disconnect between firm leadership and partners/managers - Constant change, rapid growth, and mostly remote coworkers can make it difficult to learn and develop at entry-level - Swathes of mergers/deals make it seem that leadership is more interested in getting a big payout than having real organic growth
