      Decent place to work - Staff Accountant Sikich Employee Review

      Pros

      Remote work for the most part. Teams usually consist of knowledgeable and helpful individuals. Benefits and PTO flexibility are better than average.

      Cons

      Project managers seems overworked. I've spoken to project managers who have said they've been on as many as 7 projects at once. The standard 2.5% annual pay increase does not even cover the cost of living adjustment for this year. With high performance reviews and no bonuses (or information on how to earn bonuses aside from "submitting timesheets daily") it feels almost insulting. After taxes, my 2.5% raise amounts to roughtly $50 more each pay period. So I effectively have less spending power this year than I did last year because management has decided to base pay increases on the low end of the scale, which is disappointing to say the least.

      Thank you for your comment. We believe that rewarding and recognizing excellent work is in the best interest of the company and all team members. Sikich conducts regular compensation benchmarking that shows our pay ranges are at least at or, in many cases, above the 50th percentile. To arrive at our comparisons, we utilize only best practice, industry-standard salary surveys that appropriately account for our business lines and geographies and are accumulated from our actual peer set. These market compensation benchmarks take cost of living into account. Sikich operates on a merit-based compensation system. We calculate an overall company salary increase pool based on company performance, and then allocate individual raises based on a number of factors like company and individual performance. If you have questions about this, we encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner. They can dive into this with you. Thank you, again, for commenting.

      Pros

      - remote work culture that began before covid and has continued - manageable billable hour goals and doesn’t penalize employees for time on the bench between projects - did not do layoffs during government shutdown like some other firms did

      Cons

      - no formal training plan for new hires or current employees - no automatic COLA adjustments (raises are on merit only) - not a ton of diversity but is improving - multiple recent reorganizations as firm grows (impacts management, little to no impact for staff)

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and for the positive observations about our company! We agree it's a great place to work. We encourage you to reach out to your manager to learn more about the training and development opportunities available to all employees, including new hires, through Sikich University. Those courses, along with more information, are also accessible via our intranet site under the LCVista app. Thanks, again!

      Pros

      Decent place to get Federal audit experience. Good health insurance benefits

      Cons

      Salary and raises (2% raise for meeting expectations, 3% raises for exceeding expectations). Absolutely awful and doesn't even keep pace with inflation, meaning even after the raises you're financially worse off than the year prior. Principals/Management seems to be disjointed with feedback full of corporate jargon rather than substantive examples and helpful guidance. Pressures to become a Top 10/15 ($1B+ revenue) company seems to have neglected organic growth. Private Equity investment has began to transform pressures from the top down. CEO using the word "family" in regards to the company, when the treatment is anything but how you would treat family.
