Pros

Great culture and support for employees. They are making a good effort to take care of people and listen to their concerns. You can't beat the mid-western friendliness.

Cons

The whole underlying strategy of Eide Bailly is to dangle the carrot of becoming a "partner" in front of staff for a decade or more and hope that it will motivate them to keep working on difficult projects with mediocre pay. There are three problems with that strategy: 1) You can make a lot more money joining a hot startup than you can hope to make becoming a partner in some distant year 2) There is no defined path to partnership 3) Technology consultants cannot become equity partners anyway since they aren't CPAs. The best consultants are leaving for better pay and equity at growing companies. Clients are recognizing the talent drain. And they are going to ask for lower rates that correspond with the people available.

Pros

Good amount of holidays and PTO. Lifestyle spending account and remote work were great.

Cons

In an attempt to get me to leave, little by little, my job duties were taken over by others in the department. Partners let this happen and did nothing to help me. Eventually, they eliminated my role. I documented multiple instances where the work environment was incredibly toxic but no one cared. HR never even contacted me for an exit interview. My experience was that if you did not fit into the boys club you would not succeed. There was a culture of micro-aggressions, cruelty, and badmouthing others when they weren't in the room and excluding anyone who did not fit their views.
