Vantaggi

Salary is good. Benefits are great. PTO is generous. There is a definite culture of being nice and helpful. They have hired a ton very talented people and are working hard to build their consulting practice, some of which, in certain regions is going very well. McGladrey seems like a great place for a young person with a CPA to have a long and fruitful career.

Svantaggi

As typical in a firm there are too many bosses and not enough associates to do the work. Turnover is high. They tout themselves as being a "middle market company" but are going after companies too big for them to effectively service. Their processes in the consulting side are very immature. Certain partners are very territorial and protective of their big clients to the point of risking the integrity of the firm by accepting too much risk. They do not provide cell phones for anyone in the consulting practice below the manager level. And if you leave within two years you must pay back high dollar certifications they encourage you to get and then benefit from. This punishes high value consultants with a lot of certifications for leaving the firm. PTO is generous but with a catch. If you're above a supervisor you are expected to always be in touch with the firm so it's not really time off.

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.
