Vantaggi
- the people ( ground level ) because obviously you’re going through something together - work flexibility : if you really don’t want to do a job , you can talk to manager or partner and get out of it . Likewise if there is an industry you want to try , if you ask , you will be given - timeline flexibility : we should always meet deadline but if you manage client and partner well, it’s not a die die need to sign at that date - double promotion : if you perform it’s an express train - lots of weird people so there’s lots of interesting stories in the rumour mill. That is until you are part of the story lols - it has good reputation among big 4 hirers : when recruiters from big 4 hear you are from rsm , they know you are capable because you have gone through rsm - super steep learning curve : you are going to do the whole audit process. Everyone is expected to know how to do the whole process. The higher your rank , you will do jobs that has more fee but that doesn’t necessarily mean the job is more complex because fees are based on negotiating power of the manager / partner. So you can be an assistant who knows how to do conso or a senior who don’t know .
Svantaggi
- depending on who your boss is , people are not necessarily being promoted based on merit - bond is ridiculous, I don’t think anyone should be bonded because the company give training . If that is the case, staff should be able to choose not to attend training - people : this is about luck , not saying all people who don’t leave rsm are weird but just saying most of them are. - the salary , recently adjusted to be competitive with other mid tier firm but it took a pandemic to make that happen - workload : the salary just don’t meet the workload allocated . Before I left , I was going 3 group audits and planning for listed company. Safe to say I almost died - too much admin work : we have alot of admin we need to do ourselves ( printing, beautifying fs, posting etc ) , the higher you go, the more admin you have . Not that there is no typist department , it is just understaffed so you end up doing a lot of admin work yourself
