A precursor to all the positive reviews are that HR begs the staff and seniors to write good reviews and incentivize them with bonuses if they praise the company.
-Above the supervisor level, management is virtually non-existent. Work sits unreviewed for months on end, emails go unanswered, and forget about getting any help or guidance on open items or questions you may have. It's as if they're actively trying to sabotage their own workforce.
-Client books provided are an absolute mess. Illegible doesn't even begin to describe them. Instead of focusing on the tasks at hand, you're forced to play detective and decipher what should be basic accounting information. It's essentially doing the job of a GAAP and Tax accountant combined.
-Onboarding is a joke. Three pre-recorded Zoom call videos that have no relevance to the actual work you'll be doing hardly qualify as training.
-The company practices silent layoffs every quarter. You never know when the axe will fall, creating a toxic atmosphere of uncertainty and fear.
-The overwhelming majority of employees below management level regret accepting a job offer here. That sentiment speaks volumes about the toxic culture and environment within the firm.
-The pay is insulting. It's below market rate, and don't even dream of yearly compensation increases for the cost of living - they simply don't exist. Promotions come with negligible pay increases, and yearly bonuses are practically nothing.
-The distribution of work to reach budgeted hours is a disaster. Rather than efficiently allocating tasks, you're left scrambling to beg, borrow, and steal hours from every department just to meet your billable hour goal. And when targets aren't met, management is quick to shift the blame onto their overworked and underappreciated employees.
