        Business Outlook

        Pros

        Flexible working, team of knowledgeable professionals for now

        Cons

        All the good resources jump ship and are replaced with mediocre or worse employees. Low pay for area and experience level. Conflict between billable hours and efficiency will never end. Management is focused on all the wrong metrics. Many examples of wasted talent and resource knowledge. Most people are expected to work 50+ hours per week while only being paid for 40. Seems the “norm” is hire person, work them til burnout, and churn. Management says one thing and does the opposite. Job roles aren’t defined explicitly so you end up doing anything under the sun. Services are a dumpster fire and no one wants to make any executive decisions around them, so they stay in poor states.

          Pros

          Lots of good friendly like-minded coworkers

          Cons

          The firm over hires and many of the new hires are incompetent and complain a lot. Some higher level people at the company think the solution is to take on a bunch of poor clients that are un-auditable instead of getting rid of more of the incompetent employees.

            Business Outlook

            Pros

            RSM was a great company to work for that truly cares about the wellbeing of employees. They follow-through on their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And they care about mental health. They have numerous resources such as employee resource groups, access to a mental health app, and good benefits. Growth and professional development are not only encouraged but they have an entire team dedicated to helping you progress professionally.

            Cons

            The company is very large and it can be easily to get lost in the shuffle. While I loved the company, I didn't always feel like I was making a big impact.

                      Is it bad interview etiquette to ask about salary expectations WHEN the recruiter fails to bring that up in our screener? I did it so we could ensure alignment and the recruiter said she ‘usually waits to do that after the first call’ 🙄

                      Has anyone ever requested another recruiter while starting the interview process? I had a bad experience with one at Republic. It was really bad to the point she wasn't remembering conversations and ghosted me about follow-ups. She reached out to me about a job I applied for a few months ago but I don't want to go through the same experience. Then again, maybe her lack of accountability is indicative of the work environment at that particular company and I shouldn't even bother.
