Flexible hours, but growth may challenge new staff - Tax Manager Sax LLP Employee Review

People are nice and I am able to work remotely.

A little clique-y. People don't really go out of their way to help each other.

Everyone I worked with was super nice. Rare to get micromanaged.

The systems by which they schedule are the worst. You have zero consistency with who you are working with. Typically schedule 4-5 clients a week. They project 40-55 hrs on your schedule but then you have to scramble to find work between the 4-5 clients when inevitably things aren't ready because managers like to reserve your time just in case basically, and then you have to personally coordinate so you don't get overloaded either but somehow reach your target. It takes so much energy just to figure out what to do, no one ever answers/is ready on Monday with work either so you wind up scrambling to get your hours in the rest of the week and then are somehow held personally responsible. I worked there almost 3 years and had 3 different operating systems to learn, they literally changed the software every year. Never had any direct guidance or a direct report who actually cared whatsoever. They give you a "mentor", this person never checked in with me ever until review time when they were required. Reviews themselves are a who you know game (eg one of the Partners also taught and his students magically progressed faster). I was working as an effective senior on quite a few projects, when I was needed to fill a gap but then somehow got let go for "performance reasons" literally out of the blue (no PIP and never had any performance issues brought up to me) and conveniently after they used me through busy season (through one of their software switches as well). Also, they outsource ("partner") with a group in India, and I was told by my manger a few weeks before I was let go on a client that I would be an effective senior on a project I was working on with him because the senior in India was falsifying their timecard. Sure. Then when that client actually was on my schedule I asked and turns out they let the other senior stay even though they were doing something egregiously wrong and yet somehow I was let go out of the blue (read India staff is cheaper). Also they want mostly in office work now, good luck with traffic. "Training" is laughable, and largely ineffective.
