I do not care how desperate you are. You should really keep looking. - Senior Associate RSM Employee Review

Pros

Because I want to give a decently fair shake, I will have to say that when you come from another firm they give you an okay pay raise. There are a few people that it is a pleasure to work with. They have a soda machine - no more cups though. So unless you bring a cup, you are not going to get anything to drink. There is constantly something going on so there is always food. Their new years eve party is amazing as you have the best view in the city.

Cons

I am not even sure where to begin. I want to choose my words carefully as I do not want to actually create any lawful action. The extreme lack of communication leads to outright confusion. The firm, as well as individual groups are so top heavy that it doesnt even make sense. I have personally been subject to anti-semitic remarks. People are down right rude and socially awkward. There is absolutely no training or guidance. Even though there are so many high level people, it seems as if they were promoted based on "time served" and not knowledge, because there are very few if any experts. There are questionable ethics in place, in a business sense and in a moral sense (this I will not go into detail other then to say no one should ever have to put their name or their license at risk). Almost like high school, the top-heaviness of the groups and abundance of managers lead to a complete disconnect and are in constant competition with eachother. It almost seems as if people try to put others down to make their client or project look better. There is absolutely no comradery. I would not have stayed in this firm even if they quadrupled my salary. There is so much I want to say and so many people I want to individually tarnish - and one day some people will get their due - but not on a review on glassdoor. I highly recommend that people avoid this firm.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
