Vantaggi

- Some very bright colleagues – *notably, all ex-Big 4, none "homegrown"* –and genuinely good people trying their best despite systemic issues - RSM brand name on resume (though calling it a "brand" is charitable — when in interviews, recruiters treat it as a regrettable pit stop after "real jobs" at Big 4 firms – which is unfortunately very accurate)

Svantaggi

- Zero job security – even with your name in writing on next FY business plans and positive working relationships with partners -Absolutely shameless disconnect between leadership messaging and actions (e.g., bragging about near double-digit growth in a subpractice on Thursday, then laying off employees in that same subpractice on Monday) -Culture that rewards mediocrity over competence – which is particularly alarming, given the low barrier to entry already ensures a far less competitive talent pool -No warning system for RIFs - you can literally be staffed and cut the same day. A Partner and MD asked me to take on new work, and asked my future availability to speak on an internal panel on the same morning I was RIF'd. I wish I were joking.

Vantaggi

- As assurance associate that came over from another public accounting firm, some pros are the ability to work with several different teams. - Hybrid, 2-4 days in office - Learn from senior associates - At my last acct firm never did inventory observations, so got the chance to see what that was like here at RSM

Svantaggi

- Some seniors associates aren’t able to explain or teach which plays a part in your development as a first year associate or intern. I feel first year, intern should be able to leave feedback on senior associates. As if I’m having trouble with a senior who am I supposed to go, due to the hierarchy system they have implemented at RSM. - Can be Clicky & your colleagues will be friends in your face and talk behind you behind your back, I’ve seen it happen to others so I’m pretty sure it happened to me. Houston office can be toxic - Hierarchy system, leave people thinking with senior job titles that they are above you and you can be treated like sh*t - Favortism, you don’t have an equal chance here, because every first year is not put in the same position to succeed. Some first years are able to work closely with partners and the same colleagues but different clients which is where they can have the opportunity to build great relationships while some have to bounce from senior to senior having to learn for each client and adapt to how the senior wants the job done which in turn doesn’t help build relationships. As one can senior want something done such as accounts payable one way then you get to another client and the senior wants accounts payable done another way which makes you look bad in their eyes. Which doesn’t set you up for success at all and can overall lead to a layoff.
