Disappointed and under appreciated - Accountant Manay CPA Employee Review

Remote work flexibility, a dynamic and collaborative team environment, and strong opportunities for continuous learning and professional development in accounting and tax processes.

High workload during peak periods, especially tax season, and occasionally tight deadlines.

Great team members. Colleagues are helpful and sincere. From day one, I felt genuinely welcomed and supported by the people I worked with day-to-day. There's a real sense of camaraderie among peers, and many of them go out of their way to help each other succeed.

Even though the colleagues were helpful and welcoming the upper management is really toxic in this company. Several people in leadership positions seemed to lack the skills needed for team management, communication, and constructive feedback. In meetings, I witnessed senior leaders raise their voices and criticize employees in front of their peers in a way that felt demeaning rather than constructive. Positive feedback was almost nonexistent, which over time created an environment where people felt undervalued and burnt out. Working hours were a major issue. Employees were expected to put in around 69 hours per week with no overtime pay or other compensation. Performance was effectively measured by screen time and hours logged rather than the quality or impact of the work. The flexible working hours mentioned in the contract were rarely applied in practice. Workload and expectations were poorly balanced. Responsibilities kept expanding, but salaries did not move in parallel. As scope grew, so did expectations, without corresponding adjustments to compensation. When I joined, I was told the department was expanding. In reality, around 10 people in our department either resigned or were let go within a 10-month period, and the entire marketing and data team was eventually reduced to just 2 people. Turnover across the company is noticeably high, with frequent departures that erode trust and motivation among those who remain. Upper management's heavy involvement in day-to-day processes consistently slowed things down rather than helping. Meetings frequently ran over 8 hours, which made it nearly impossible to focus on actual deliverables.
