Do not care about doing the right thing

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There were some great partners who tried hard to do the right thing by our clients and employees. They were few and far between.

Cons

They only cared about getting partners more money. You could not speak up about anything or you would be retaliated against.

A hotbed of mediocrity - awful place to work for a women, bullying partners and weak management

Senior executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

wide international network with plenty of opportunity to do international work. Flagship impressive headquarters in Baker Street

Cons

It is very difficult to progress on merit - the staff are good below partner level but the partners are largely unimpressive, there seems to be a lot of cronyism and many are bewildered at the partners that progress up the management tree. Bullies are not dealt with adequately - and often hold positions of power. It is not a great place to work as a senior woman - difficult to be heard and little support. PKF merger seems like displacement activity to hide the generally poor performance of the firm.
