Top down orders - Anonymous employee Plante Moran Employee Review

-Huge shift in leadership across the firm. There’s lots of decisions being made at the higher levels being barked down. -Shift to in person work (masked as principally in person) and using this as firing/performance metrics during most recent reviews -They have stopped reimbursing exam fees for your CPA license after 3 year anniversary at the firm but you are still expected to have/work towards the license. No where have I ever seen a company require a license for your position, reap the benefit of it, but not compensate you for it. -Pay, significantly less than industry and barely with market for public accounting firms. The worst part is the salary difference between different roles. There currently is only a 6k difference between a brand new hire and a senior (3+ years experience) - gossip culture. Partners/managers constantly talk badly about other staff, other teams, and even clients. Some even seem to keep tabs on everyone’s personal life and details. -the turnover has been “lower” than average and as a result it seems as if “there’s not enough work to go around” but it’s your responsibility to meet your hour expectation. -They recently asked PM employees to start posting reviews which should tell you they’re doing preventive damage control
