Pros

The overly positive reviews about MGO are posted by MGO INDIA. They started doing this due to the number of bad reviews they were getting. Please pay attention to the negative reviews. Same trend.... this is the reality.

Cons

1. Poor leadership - serious questions about moral and ethical compasses. Partners' do not get along. The tone at the top is filled with greed, negativity and insecurities. 2. Nepotism - ask how many relatives of the COO's are working at MGO. Actually, ask how many relatives in TOTAL are working at the firm. These people, despite their lack of ability and experience, get promotions ahead of all others... even during Covid when nobody was getting promotions, bonuses, etc. 3. There are some long standing employees (15+ years) and Partners who would not be hirable in their roles given their abilities, yet they are still given preference and not corrected when they create toxic, verbally abusive, work environments for others. 3. HR cannot be trusted. 4. Very high turnover = even longer hours, which is a lot for a CPA firm. 5. Very high turnover in clients as well due to lack of ability to honestly fulfill obligations. 6. Performance reviews and training are non-existent and based on favoritism not facts. Firm refuses to implement upward feedback...

We do review employee performance quarterly and have formal annual performance reviews.
