What don't you like about working at Baker Tilly?

"Be warned if you are an experienced hire and ask a lot of questions. Even ask to meet other memebers of the team and see the roadmap if possible. For me, the role and opportunity explained during the 6 month recruiting process did not match up with the actual work. Then after you start, there is little to no communication from senior management or partners. I wish I had turned down the offer and stayed with a larger firm because the opportunity was not the current state but the 'wishful' to-be state. Take my advice, if you are an experienced hire and come from a larger company, leadership may fudge the truth so you accept. If you like putting your career at risk then this firm is for you. Be ready to do anything to get you billable to a client with no regards to your background or training. Oh, and forget about any ramp up or training just don't let the client know."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management needs to disclose the current state and not grossly inflate the role and opportunity to get you to accept."

"I think it's a great place to do an internship, becuase you'll make your $20 an hour and hit overtime by Wednesday. However, if you plan on having a family life at all. Trust me when I say you'd be better off at ANY other accounting firms, including big 4 firms."

What don't you like about working at Baker Tilly?

"Unfortunately I could go on forever. I can't explain the number of 90 hour plus weeks I have had. They will work your fingers to the bone. I ended up leaving (still staying in public) and was able to get a a 15% raise and MUCH better hours. They are all about the mighty $, they don't give two S*^$ about you."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Treat your people right and the hard work will follow. I don't think there is much to say, they know they are paying for their mistakes. They must have one of the highest turnover percentages out there right now. Yet there are some partners that are still in denial. Admit you made mistakes, then move on."
