Crowe Horwath Employee Reviews for Tax Manager

"Doesn't measure up to Big 4.Stressful place that is not rewarding at all."

What do you like about working at Crowe Horwath?

"Compensation & benefits are competitive with other CPA firms. Working from home is acceptable most of the time. Good opportunity for people starting off in their career."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Good opportunity for entry level up to senior. Look elsewhere before reaching manager level. Very little growth from within the firm."

What don't you like about working at Crowe Horwath?

"No work-life balance despite their giving lip service to it. Very stressful and cut-throat environment. Unreasonable budgets and sales goals for managers and above. Everyone is expected to meet these goals. Sales ability is valued at the expense of technical ability and client service. Only those people who live and breathe the Crowe mantra and live their values are rewarded, even if they are weak technically. Cultural diversity is almost nonexistent despite giving lip service to that. Very conservative Midwestern firm where you can find ethnic support groups that have no power in a largely White Ango environment."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Keep an eye on how your senior management treat their employees. Partners and senior management play favorites with certain employees while mistreating others based on personal bias. Exceptions to well-documented Crowe policies are made for certain people but not others, Also, if a person feels uncomfortable selling, he/she should not be forced to. This is not what the person was trained for."
