Pros

I liked the culture of RSM besides my team. They have lots of groups that you can join.

Cons

The smaller consulting teams management (I was Financial Investigations and Disputes in Philly) is mainly white egotistical old fashioned men. They do not do a good job of training (unless you’re audit or tax) and expect perfection. They only focus on the negatives and no matter how many positives there are, the negatives will always outweigh them. I was micromanaged by my career advisor, who wasn’t even technically my manager but was very degrading towards me. They do not have a good work-life balance either, the team expects you to be there by 8:30 and won’t let you leave until the partner leaves. Micromanaging, upper management is very old fashioned, if you don’t suck up you won’t get far.

Pros

They spend lots of money trying to make you feel good about yourself working there, but it's all smoke and mirrors

Cons

RSM US will lay people off in the middle of a pandemic without warning and claim it's for performance reasons, which isn't true. They are lying and they know it. They just don't want bad press, so that is why this site is a great place to hear the truth! The partners will tell you that you are great until they are done using you. 80% of the partners at RSM are dead weight who are partners because their firm was bought by RSM years ago. Half of the younger partners became partner because they were in the right place and right time. It's a corporate machine where 80% of the partners provide little to no value, but are still considered partners.

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
