Pros

Very flexible environment. You literally do whatever you want

Cons

Choas, unstructured, no clear vision, absent leadership, and partners. Will never catch up to Big 4 or 10, or even 50. Joining them will ruin your career track. Culture is focused on constant gossip. HR also contributes to gossip without doing anything to stop it.

Thank you for your feedback. Being in the top 10 accounting firms in Canada and with over 90 years of highly regarded industry experience, history and leadership, we continue to attract and promote, high caliber, dedicated and ambitious team players who embrace values of professionalism, excellence, respect and integrity. We are especially proud of our innovative spirit, which promotes a flexible environment – a culture that’s valued by our team. We are taking measures to further clarify the firm’s vision, as discussed at our Town Hall this year, through a course of meetings and communication strategies. While we do encourage an open door policy and strive to increase communication throughout the firm, gossip is not something Richter tolerates.

Pros

Good company overall with good exposure to many different industries and companies. Great learning opportunities. Nice newly renovated offices located downtown.

Cons

Not a good work life balance. Depending on your level / department you might not have a life at all. Highly unconsistent work environment from one partner to another, some of them acting like dictators or not caring about people at all.

Pros

- great place to meet professionals

Cons

toxic environment. Not friendly to staff without experience. There were not enough engagements to distribute to manager below roles and no proper training in place. The famous quote was " our firm is not a school/ charity for you to learn, so you need to find ways to improve yourself". If you have 75% or below utilization for over months, you would face the risk to be fired. It is a very common thing to see people got terminated without any proper explanations.
