Great company, good working balance

Bit pushy on the exams they want you to take, forced CIPFA and I had to leave as it wasn't what I wanted to do.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Grant Thornton UK LLP full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Good access to senior guidance and advice from directors and partners. Supportive and collaborative teams. Formal processes geared towards meeting career development goals.
Cons
Salary did not reflect the market and the gender salary gap appeared to be relatively larger. Room to improve balance between individual career aspirations and tactical work required from individuals (silos within advisory units could make individuals knowledge base too narrow).
Advice to Management
Clearer alignment of individuals’ work to both overall and departmental business strategy.

Too long list. No promotions Firms quality is poor No trainings given
Advice to Management
Please get rid of senior staff who are manipulative. Promotions are only given to people who are always behind the influential people. Recognition is not given to good hardworking people.
