The small office culture is perfect for me. Even though the name isn't as well known as Big Four firms, the training, responsibility, and opportunities that you receive are as good as or even better than the Big Four. You always work directly with clients (even during your first years at the firm) so you definitely gain great leadership qualities.

I am not happy at with my work at all. I do not feel appreciated and the management does not give feedback about the work that you do. Without any feedback, how do they expect me to improve? I think the company would be a much better place to work at if there was a more formalized feedback system to make everyone accountable to their responsibilities.

People at McGladery are often promoted before they're ready to be promoted. There is a high turnover rate in the company and the Managers are not great leaders. The training programs do not prepare you for your position and the company suffers because of it.
