The time and effort expected to be dedicated to the firm are not necessarily taken into account in establishing a competitive salary. Travel time is substantial, but no more than it would be at a peer firm. The firm is also very focused on audit, at the cost of alienating individuals who have been recruited to grow advisory and other practices without senior leadership support. The firm remarkably underinvests in technology infrastructure relative to many of its clients. Although marketing materials stress the global nature of the firm, it is still substantially segregated into regional and sometimes country-specific geographies, to the detriment of seamless delivery to our globally located clients.
