      Pros

      -Remote work -Paid for CPA study material -Bonus for passing CPA exam

      Cons

      Where to begin? The training was essentially nonexistent. You get thrown off the high dive with little guidance. I felt the partners and managers were condescending and disrespectful considering the lack of guidance. The pay was terrible and the merit increase was a slap in the face. Opportunities for advancement were dangled but not given. Annual reviews were very subjective, and qualifications and expectations for promotions were unclear. The benefits were incredibly expensive. Time off requests were required to be submitted months in advance. The scheduling strategy is pool based rather than location based. I was asked to travel out of state multiple times rather than have someone from the office in that city participate on a job. Executive leadership was incredible vague. It always felt like they were hiding something and refused to answer questions from employees during town hall meetings. One of the worst employment experiences I’ve ever had. Stay far away.

      Business outlook

      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.
