      Toxic people on top - Senior Associate Sikich Employee Review

      Pros

      Small firm, get to know people closely

      Cons

      I've been with the company for several years, and my experience has been profoundly disappointing. The leadership at the top is extremely toxic, consistently making employees feel worthless. They create an environment where different ideas and views are stifled, fostering a culture where a servant attitude is necessary just to survive. In this company, you are expected to yield to the whims of those above you. It's essentially a puppet culture where the politics are intense, primarily aimed at showcasing managers' and partners' attitudes rather than achieving meaningful progress. There's a 100% lack of empathy from the top leadership, who are notorious for backbiting and creating a divisive atmosphere. This has resulted in a highly stressful and demoralizing workplace. If you value your self-respect and mental well-being, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for employment.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - remote work culture that began before covid and has continued - manageable billable hour goals and doesn’t penalize employees for time on the bench between projects - did not do layoffs during government shutdown like some other firms did

      Cons

      - no formal training plan for new hires or current employees - no automatic COLA adjustments (raises are on merit only) - not a ton of diversity but is improving - multiple recent reorganizations as firm grows (impacts management, little to no impact for staff)

      Thank you for sharing your experience, and for the positive observations about our company! We agree it's a great place to work. We encourage you to reach out to your manager to learn more about the training and development opportunities available to all employees, including new hires, through Sikich University. Those courses, along with more information, are also accessible via our intranet site under the LCVista app. Thanks, again!

      Pros

      Decent place to get Federal audit experience. Good health insurance benefits

      Cons

      Salary and raises (2% raise for meeting expectations, 3% raises for exceeding expectations). Absolutely awful and doesn't even keep pace with inflation, meaning even after the raises you're financially worse off than the year prior. Principals/Management seems to be disjointed with feedback full of corporate jargon rather than substantive examples and helpful guidance. Pressures to become a Top 10/15 ($1B+ revenue) company seems to have neglected organic growth. Private Equity investment has began to transform pressures from the top down. CEO using the word "family" in regards to the company, when the treatment is anything but how you would treat family.
