Pros

Company social events and ability to work from home, sometimes.

Cons

Very tight-knit teams. You're either on a team or outside looking in. Lack of racial diversity. Very cut-throat environment, with most vying for attention and trying to scale-up on your back.

Pros

National level tax teams who assist with larger client issues and advise as needed, experience on a variety of clients (pass-through entities, corporations, etc) in a variety of industries

Cons

Still suffering from the effects of multiple mergers. Pittsburgh seems to be unable to climb out of the hole it created for itself in the merger process. Managers and partners are out of touch with what is happening at the staff and senior levels, as evidenced by the decisions they make. Promises for promotions are not kept. Administrative work that keeps departments working well is not valued (whether done by administrative personnel or professional staff/team members). Pittsburgh has a huge gender bias problem, and only certain types of individuals are promoted early, if at all. Staff are extremely overworked in the Pittsburgh tax department, so much so that it's impossible to take a break in the summer, and a lot of vacation time goes unused. Many Legacy ParenteBeard offices still cling to the culture that once was, and they are difficult places to work as a result. I concluded that Baker Tilly would be a good place to work if you were in one of the Midwest offices or D.C.

Pros

Some of the people were nice, good busy season parties, decent pay

Cons

Busy season hours were 70+ hours per week, offseason was 50+ hours per week, managers were all about protecting their job and would do their best to make you feel like you were worthless, culture was built around drinking, they would pressure you to work more and not record hours

Thank you for this feedback. We wish your experience was more positive. As with any accounting firm, busy season has a unique set of time demands. We understand the effect of the season on work-life balance and continually looking at new tools and policies, such as “Dress for your Day” that make our culture more responsive. We’ll continue to do everything we can to make our workplace as enjoyable as possible including work-life balance and employee recognition programs.
