- Too many managers and not enough staff level consultants
- Excessive corporate-ness despite small consulting division--to advance at Crowe you must appear to be a "company man" and spout useless rhetoric.
- Tons of layoffs between 2008-2009 - college hires in several cases spent 9 months on the bench and were then fired.
- No raises and no bonus because of poor revenues in 2008-2009.
