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

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
