RSM reviews

Led by a narcissist- the whole marketing and communications department is beyond toxic. Never met so many people experiencing mental health problems particularly anxiety. Scapegoating, bullying, gas lighting and back stabbing are rife. The workload is chaotic. Many people set up to fail. People threatened with performance management plans for minuscule reasons particularly if you have been there less than 2 years - senior leadership seem to see destroying peoples confidence as good leadership. Much better places to work out there. Don’t judge all professional services firms on this one. The culture is awful here. Senior leadership blatantly lies to destroy people that don’t fit their mould of blind following and acceptance of bad treatment.

- Low pay amongst other public accounting firms. Even other mid-tier firms are paying more at present moment. - 2 year bond for audit staff which is very long amongst other accounting firms. - Staffs are bonded to a 3-year laptop bond, any staff who leave after the 2-year bond will be required to pay the balance of the bond period for the laptop usage. - Poor benefits where there is ONLY $100 dental. - Staff is required to pay $2 "profit-sharing" every month to give the illusion that staffs have a stake in the firm. - Bonus is always paid 4 months after the financial year. Hence, any staff who resign within the period is not entitled to the bonus thus “trapping” them for another 4 months. - Staffs are constantly fed with the idea that bonus is above industrial practice where in reality it is not - Yearly increment is insanely low!!! The company is able to keep the pay low to improve its profit margins (i.e. the beloved gross profit 1). - Staff is required to pay obscene amounts for misplacing stationaries. i.e. $50 for a calculator. - Staff are not given a work phone which affects their personal lives due to management and client constant harassment. - Expected to work and attend calls even on annual leave. - Aside from professional work, management would "request" staff to do other admin work such as risk checks and coming back on Saturdays to open doors. - Staff is required to wear formal between Mondays and Thursdays. Big4 and the other mid-tiers are already ahead of the curve as they have adapted casual wear on a daily basis. - Required to serve long notice period after tendering (2-3 months). - Pay does not reflect accordingly for staff who are double promoted. Therefore, the firm can continue to operate with cheap labor. -Pay is not standardized equally within the same rank. - Terrible pantry setting where there are only plain biscuits and milo tins. - Staff is required to give “time-wasting” presentations.
