Better than the big four, but still, no worklife balance. - Audit Associate RSM Employee Review

Pros

You'll have the opportunity to work on more audit sections with this company than with the big four. This is because most of their clients are midsized companies. Also, the work load is about 20 hours less than at the big four.

Cons

You are expected to come in on Saturdays during the busy season. This means, a 50+ hour work week. There's a lot of politics within the company. Promotions and recognization is based on your networking skills within the firm, not your technical abilities.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
