Pros

Decent teams. You'll learn alot.

Cons

I worked way more and harder than I should have for a very thankless organization. In the end no one cares - no matter how hard you work or amount of time you put in. There at some partners who are awesome but in the end, they don't care about you or if you leave. The pay is terrible, and I can see why this place never went anywhere. All the hopes and dreams of "20 by 20" don't mean anything when your directors and partners don't care. That is exactly why this firm never achieved it.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your comments. We are encouraged to hear that you learned a lot during your time at Sikich – we want that for all of our employees! You also stated that some of our leaders did not take care of you. We take that feedback seriously, and we appreciate your honesty. “Servant leadership” is one of our core values, as we believe the reciprocity of being good to one another is at the heart of how we do business. We have been deliberate in creating a workplace where everyone feels included and recognized for their contributions. Sikich has earned a number of employer of choice awards that are based on direct, anonymous employee feedback. We take great pride in that, and take seriously all the insights collected through those surveys, with a focus on always improving. By far, our most important asset is our people. They are the drivers of the success our organization has achieved over the last several years, enabling us to offer a robust and differentiating benefits and pay package. Regarding our pay structure, each year, our HR team analyzes market and internal compensation data to ensure that we are providing competitive salaries to employees at every level. Thank you again for your feedback. Please feel free to contact us directly if you would like to provide any additional thoughts or suggestions.

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.
