Pros

They are trying to be a big, proper firm.

Cons

This firm is vaporware incarnate. “Fake it till you make it”… It’s grown inorganically through acquisitions of primarily small local firms… and this approach makes it an amalgamation of sub-par talent… a continuation of the firms roots honestly. Aprio is faking it, with the help of Covid-area financing through Truist bank, until they “make it” onto what ever list allows them to trick you into thinking they are a legit firm. Now that PE is materially involved in operations, as of Nov-2024, employees should expect their experience to further diminish. Turnover; it was alarming how many people left this firm while I was there. I wouldn’t recommend to a friend to work here. Some leaders like to boast that Aprio requires less annual charge hours than other firms but this is just a sales pitch for fresh meat hires… you WILL be managed from a charge hour sheet, and often. Clients; they do work for so many bad, small, crappy clients… this was the most shocking realizations of all… the number of truly horrible clients this place has caused weekly pain for me and me team.

Pros

Convenient office location with easy access to nearby amenities

Cons

Leadership and management often lack transparency and consistency in decision-making. The work environment can feel stressful, with employees frequently feeling they must be overly cautious to avoid criticism. Limited opportunities for professional growth and career advancement. Company culture does not always align with the values it promotes. The “30 Aprio Fundamentals,” are frequently discussed but are not always reflected in leadership actions or day-to-day workplace culture. Employee well-being and development often appear to take a back seat to profitability and business metrics. Communication between leadership and staff could be significantly improved.
