What is the best part of working at the company?
I get to do amazingly meaningful work in the public sector at a top firm that actually values work/life balance, extensive personal and professional development, and a positive, supportive culture. Been here five years and plan to stay until I retire.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making it all work -- the basics of consulting. Lining up new business with staff availability and juggling a million balls in the air. Need more hours in the day to do it all.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Incredibly collegial and supportive. I've worked at a major international firm and it was the opposite. People are smart, warm, friendly, encouraging, and willing to jump in and help out. It is expected that we collaborate and support each other and we are evaluated on it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There is no typical day in consulting! That's one thing we love about it. Usually some internal 1:1 meetings with staff, internal project meetings, researching or writing proposals, client meetings, and work time.

BerryDunn offers a lot of flexibility and employee development opportunities, and puts much verbiage behind a commitment to progressive workplace and excellent client service. Primarily strong as an accounting firm. However, the consulting side of the firm varies in its quality of staffing and performance. Some areas of strength. Many areas of mediocrity. Several managers have risen through the internal ranks but lack actual experience and field-earned expertise. Practice group principles may “manage” but not have leadership skills or experience with supervising a staff team of high skill self-directed experts. Overall, BerryDunn operates as an old-school accounting firm with hierarchical reporting and somewhat opaque decision-making among leadership. The corporate culture rewards head nodding and affirmation and  has difficulty tolerating dissent in ideas or perspectives. 

Typical work day performed:
- Meetings with the client
- preparation and review of PMO document plans
- with prior experience in this field, learning is basically restricted to state and regulatory information involving State and Federal government
- workplace culture is pretty relaxed but very focused on the job at hand with an eye on timelines.
Hardest part of the job is dealing with indecision by state management for roles and responsibilities, and management plan content for management of the PMO.
- enjoyable component is working with the rank and file personnel - very real people, open and honest, easy to get along with.

BerryDunn is a great place to work for if you are looking for engaging job experiences and the opportunity to work on a variety of projects. The firm offers great flexibility in terms of working remotely and time off and the management/leadership are very open to communicating. There is a commitment to growth and success across the firm and employees are adamant about growing personally and creating new relationships.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
per diem, can work as many hours as needed.

My position was very deadline based. There were abrupt dismissals during my time here. Can be hard to advance in certain circumstances. Great opportunity for accountants and consultants.

You take a bit of a pay cut to not have to work 60 hours a week all the time but sometimes management forgets that and gets pushy about hour budgets and people leave and then they will quiet down about hours again and then the cycle continues.

Gaslighting at the highest levels. Managers planning your exit behind your back. Unrealistic expectations.  Every minute must be accounted for and heaven forbid you actually spend time doing your job.

As a first consulting experience, I learned a great deal.  Management provided sufficient support and there were many opportunities for career growth.  The most difficult aspect of the job was extensive travel.
