Pros
Like any public accounting firm there is a defined career path and a steep learning curve so there are decent opportunities when you leave. Also for the first year or two they do a really good job of keeping up appearances of being a good place to work.
Cons
Always understaffed at the key levels so you will be pushed to do more advanced work than you have the experience or skill set to handle. There is lip service paid to acknowledging your hard work, but no actual help or recognition. When you burn out, and you will, there is no acknowledgment that you were set up for failure. There are technically job descriptions, but they never are accurate. As in managers should be starting to lead large and complex jobs that I was doing as a staff just before being promoted to senior. You will be set up to fail and as the business model is based on exploitation of staff so they talk about hiring new people, they never do. In my cohort of staff and seniors 7% said we’d recommend Wipfli as a great place to work and 0% said that we felt if we contributed to wipfli’s success we’d be recognized.
