Pros

- Pays for CPA exam materials (only Becker) - Timely promotions - Solid group of peers and staff

Cons

- Partner group only focused on growth of department/firm and lost sight of the hardworking individuals who got them to this point - Many Managers & Partners do not respect your previously approved time off and require you to work during this scheduled PTO (or sick days) - Armanino does not set a standard for clients. They will bring in any client just to get their business. This causes engagements to be messy when clients are not held to a certain standard of providing necessary support to get the engagement done, which usually makes the engagement drag for months at a time - No 401(k) employer match - Inconsistent between words and actions - loses the trust of your hardworking employees - Recently changed all staff from hourly to salary, which was a huge motivator for people to choose Armanino over Big 4. Might as well get the Big 4 education/experience since the hours worked annually are the same - Bonus program relies too heavily on other factors (Managers/Partners, clients) other than your own performance and is not a true representation of your work product

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.
