RSM Chio Lim... "Big 5"? Nah.

Audit associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I'm fortunate that the people in my team are nice. And that's pretty much it for the pros.

Cons

Poor starting salary - Senior partner says it's a tradeoff for "better clientele".... but honestly I don't see any good clients in my department. Their accounts are so messy, figures dont tie, missing files, etc. By right we should disclaim their FS but since the client is friends with our partner.... no choice but to issue a clean opinion. Poor increment - Really poopy increment. Unflexible working hours Lack of manpower and staff

Pros

Benefits, People, Brand recognition, Nice office space, decent technology

Cons

Accounting Firms do not understand sales and marketing, slow to adopt market trend applications, bottom line attitude, not willing to listen to associates or sales people (Only listen to accounting and finance people). Does not service their customers (stay away from existing customers, regardless if they are paying to much for a service that RSM offers). Country club atmosphere (Nepotism, friends, friend of a friend will get hired before the best candidate for the job).

Pros

Good resume experience, a few publicly traded companies but be prepared to work a lot of hours for the experience

Cons

No work/life balance, HR is really bad, and expect a lot of crazy hours. Unfortunately all of the reviews are accurate for this location- the managers and partners really don’t care about their employees and definitely not about retaining them. Unprofessional behavior will go tolerated and unnoticed if your billables are up to par. Also the office has a lot of drama, people who work 100 hours a week don’t have lives, so be prepared for lots of stupid gossip. I’m currently looking for employment elsewhere and hoping that I’ll land something prior to the busy season kick off. Management can’t retain staff and jobs will be short staffed. The company isn’t doing well financially and I️ don’t want to be around for the demise. I️ wish I️ was lucky enough to have been selected for after the busy season lay off. Yea.. they did that.
