Interesting. Other offices are good.

Go with A&M if you can get in - turnover is very low and you’d make significantly more $ for the same work.

It will be far easier to quit and go to FDD competitor than to rotate in at the same firm. With kpmg, you’ll for sure have to go back to audit for another year/busy season before being welcomed back full time.

What’s wrong with KPMG FDD?

KPMG FDD Dallas office turnover was huge too. Their lead partner left to lead Houlihan Lokey FDD nationally and appears to have attracted a large group following him over there.

I have nothing bad to say about the Dallas KPMG group. Been on the other side from them on multiple deals, and they were talented and good people

Seems like the change in leadership might be the result of this. Culture is absolute terrible and wouldn’t be surprised to hear more people leaving in the coming months tbh

New York FDD practice is a dumpster fire. One of my favorite directors left in the end of 2020 and it seems like the senior and manager attrition won’t stop. Hopefully the comp. adjustments stop the exodus but I’m worried it just won’t be enough.

I’m thinking about rotating in FDD LA. Has the culture always been bad or has it changed recently? I was networking last year and I only heard good things.

^ is that seasonal or like that forever?

Describe the culture in more detail?

Lmaooo right?? This isn’t A&M. Sure, new leadership is currently running this place utilizing that model (given they came from there) but the pay isn’t being reflected how it is at A&M. Hence why so many people have left. PAY THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY ARE WORTH IF YOU WANT THE SAME TIME OF OUTPUT

Can anyone give me their honest opinion on working at Eli Lilly, the Indy site? I have a few coworkers that have worked there in the past but no one recently. I’m currently being recruited pretty seriously for a in-vivo technician position in the auto-immune team, but I already have a job lined up at Envigo as a small animal sx tech. Salaries would be comparable (Lilly would most likely be a little more with bonuses), but if the culture sucks, I’d hate to burn a bridge with Envigo.
