Pros

RSM McGladrey is a great place for a career. There are many opportunities for advancement, while maintaining work/life balance. Co-workers are friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely concerned for one another.

Working at a large corporation has it's down side, primarily the internal politics. While internal politics is inevitable RSM does a great job of keeping employees informed and addressing issues as they arise.

Experience as a Sr Audit Associate at McGladrey & Pullen

Business Outlook

Pros

McGladrey is a great place to work if you're looking for a national firm that makes a strong effort to help you achieve a good work/life balance. McGladrey provides a great opportunity to achieve strong professional growth as it is a firm with national resources that serves middle market companies. You will find the majority of your experience involves working closely with your client's Sr. management team which you may not get by working at a "Big 4" firm. You will also find that the breadth and depth of your experience with McGladrey far exceeds that of experience with a "Big 4" firm.

Cons

Although McGladrey claims to offer competitive compensation it has been my experience that as I have progressed from an associate right out of college to the level of Supervisor McGladrey has lacked the ability to appropriately reward it's employees proportionately to the level of their contributions. I have seen too many instances that McGladrey will consistently fail to recognize their top performers.
