100 hour weeks during busy season at most levels, unless you are one of the partners’ buddies. Constant turnover. Ever-changing processes that are created by people who don’t actually do the work. Bonuses are really bad, if you even get one.

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!
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.
