Current Employee – been working at Moss Adams LLP

Pros – Great management in the Portland office; however, can range to very poor in other offices. Great people to work with. Huge opportunities if you can adjust to the culture.

Cons – Pay and benefits are low. If you get on someone's wrong side, it can mean the end. If you want to get on, you have to work some long hours.

Advice to Senior Management – Increase pay to be comparable to other in the industry. Improve benefits, especially the 401k matching. Be a little more inclusive of all levels, not just manager up.

Pros – The company is very stable and generally, a pleasant environment. There are some nice perks and the benefits package is decent. As much as a professional services firm can, they try to accommodate work-life balance and flexibility, although the bottom line is still that you must work a lot to be considered a high performer. Firm leadership is aware of concerns raised by employees regarding poor communication and attempting to improve that area but it's hard to say how successful they'll be since they've been working on it for a couple years and are still rated poorly in this area.

Cons – Politics are top dog at Moss Adams. If you are 'in' with the right people, you will likely enjoy a positive experience and have normal opportunities to advance. If, however, you are not exactly what department leadership has in mind, your experience will be very different. This is true of any company on some level but at Moss, it's particularly overt. Many of the departments have what employees consider to be toxic levels of favoritism and dysfunction. I'm not ready to say that I wouldn't recommend working here but I would definitely say 'buyer beware'...

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in training your managers - all of your managers - in how to manage people. Even those managers or department heads that firm leadership believe to be excellent managers are really just covering up the issues in their departments. If you hire an outside vendor to speak with all levels of staff, you would find that a lot of people are very unhappy but are just 'stuck' because of the job market or terrified to say anything for fear of retribution.

Pros – Vacation and colleagues. Good if you enjoy working with small businesses. If you are an audit or tax professional there are a lot of opportunities within the firm and promotions occur more rapidly than at the Big 4. It is a good firm but not at the same level as the Big 4 in terms of the level of expertise. Good opportunities depending on your career aspirations.

Cons – Poor communication from the C-suite. It is an area for development that they are aware of but to date there has been little progress in improving the level and scope of communication within the organization.

Advice to Senior Management – Communicate more effectively. Focus less on strategic decision making and more on implementation. Also, reward for good management skills throughout the organization.

Current Employee – been working at Moss Adams LLP

Pros – This is a stable company with high ethics. Management stresses the importance of safety in regards to client retention. The company is small enough that staff get to experience a variety of clients and projects, rather than being slotted into one type of work. There are some very talented people to work with.

Cons – Useful training is lacking in the tax areas. The bigger firms offer better opportunities to learn your job. Morale gets very low during busy seasons.

Advice to Senior Management – Put some effort into people to help them succeed. Make the mentoring program work by making your middle management accountable for the success of their charges.
