      Worst job I ever had. - Anonymous employee Friedman LLP Employee Review

      Pros

      None. Finding a better job is so easy when you’re starting in the sewer of corporate America and the financial industry.

      Cons

      The most toxic office culture I’ve ever experienced in my life. Culture is dominated by 70+ year old boomers who are all about hour counting and want their staff to come to work every single day early and leave late every single day, even when there is no work to be done. 24/7/365 on call for any little issue. Summer Fridays are a snake oil campaign, you end up working the hours mon-thur and being available and on call all day Friday for any little issue that may arise, some people come into the office on Fridays and expect answers to anything even when you already put in your hours for the week. I was demanded to do MANY things completely outside of my job description, management didn’t stick their neck out for me once. HR is just as two faced as the partners, never trust them. Zero job advancement opportunity. Training was non existent, any time you would ask questions to would get condescending remarks. It’s a miserable office culture full of miserable people who have become old, stagnant and complacent. I would never go back. Working here did nothing positive for my career or personal life. Look elsewhere for employment, just about anywhere is a step up. After finding a new employer every time I look back and think about this place I realize more and more just how bad it was and always will be.

      Thank you for providing feedback. Summer Fridays is a voluntary perk that many of our employees choose to take advantage of and enjoy the flexibility of being able to put in their time from Monday- Thursday. While occasional responses during those Fridays may be asked of, generally speaking we have found this day off to be very well respected by management, employees and even clients. We are certainly sorry to hear that you felt our training programs and interactions with HR and management weren't satisfactory to you. We do pride ourselves in providing robust training experiences and management and HR work together with our people to provide as rewarding of an employee experience as possible. While we know our company culture is a great fit for many, it may not be best for everyone. We are glad to hear you have been able to find something better suited for you. If you do have further feedback or solutions you would like to provide us, please feel free to reach out to anyone in HR. We wish you the best of luck in your next role.

      Pros

      Summer Fridays, Jeans in the NJ office Management, Partner, HR and Seniors care about the growth of all staff. If staff works hard and has a positive attitude they will excel within the firm. Additionally, if you have preferences on what kind of jobs you want to work on (industry, travel etc.) they will take that into consideration. Senior management will go above and beyond training staff if they staff is willing to work hard and ask for help. Training is exceptional. The Company does not expect you to start your career with all the answers and expects questions. But with hard work and working closely with the people above you the amount one can learn in a few years is incredible. You have the possibility to start jobs from start to finish if you take the right initiative. Growth is very fast. Expect to be promoted every year until senior level. Promotions are always there if the employee takes the right initiative. Excellent job security as long as the employee continues to work hard and show initiative. Friendly environment. You never feel unappreciated. Partners and Mangers will go out of their way to tell you thank you after jobs for working hard and congratulate you for doing a good job.

      Cons

      None. As long as you work hard and show initiative you will be successful.
