Has anyone heard of or know anyone that works at the Siegfried Group? I was reached out to about a position with the company but wanted to know the reputation it has. Any insights help. Thanks!

I don’t know anyone who works here but everything I’ve read tells me to stay away. Heard there’s mandatory quarterly Saturday meetings where they preach their politics and religion. Personally, I would hate that culture.

Sounds like what I'm assuming most Big 4 do in ongoing company webcasts

Similar to big 4, everyone’s experience is dependent upon what clients they are assigned to and their team. You can opt to travel or not travel (you are paid an additional % of your salary depending on how often you travel, in addition to a per diem for meals). Attending the quarterly Saturday events is not mandatory but those who do attend receive an $8k bonus for the year and one of the Saturday events is firm wide and held in Vegas.

They do a lot of loan staffing to big 4 during busy season so be prepared for that

I’ve heard and seen first hand pretty varied experiences. Friend from high school was there for a bit and had positive things to say. I also worked with a few of their people on an audit (big 4 was understaffed and brought them in as contractors for a never ending busy season client) - they seemed pretty miserable. Stuck with terrible areas of work, not really “a part of the team”, traveling 6 days a week to be on the job, etc. everyone that was on that engagement quit shortly afterwards

How's everyone doing?

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
