Pros

coworkers can be nice (if they decide you can be in their clique).

Cons

Management plays the blame game, even when they themselves don't know how things work. Additionally, when interviewing candidates, management claims there is no "blame game". Mistakes are NOT tolerated by Management - so make sure you're a perfect person. New ideas are not heard, or even considered. There seem to be cliques among the employees. Benefits are below average. Lots of Nepotism- One person in my group did not even have to interview or submit her resume; she just got hired because she had a family member who was working in the company.

Pros

I had a great experience as an intern at Armanino. The team was very supportive and collaborative, and I felt like they cared about my success. I was given real, hands-on work that helped me learn a lot about the industry and professional work environment. The pay was also very generous for an internship.

Cons

I wish it was longer than 8 weeks!

Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

1. Upper management have no intention to retain domestic talent. They will throw work at hard workers, hard workers get burnt out and leave, more work gets thrown to the people that stays, they get burnt out, eventually they will leave. This is something that happens at most accounting firms. 2. Mixed signal from upper management regarding billable hours. You are told to bill all the hours, but if you did, they get upset because you spend too much time. You try to make them happy by eating hours, they then get upset because you aren't working hard enough by billing enough hours. 3. You are doing workload of a big 4 with mid size firm salary and comp. If you are to cry and get stressed out, I suggest you to cry at a place that gives you more exit opp.
