WithumSmith+Brown

A typical day at Withum involved collaborating with audit and financial processing teams to finalize financial statements, often under tight deadlines. I gained deep experience in document control, formatting, proofreading, and using specialized tools like CCH Engagement and DAS OnPoint.

Management was responsive, organized, and clear with expectations. They fostered a culture of accountability and teamwork, which made even busy seasons feel manageable. The workplace culture was professional, inclusive, and centered around delivering high-quality client work.

The hardest part of the job was managing high volumes during audit season while maintaining accuracy and turnaround times. But it was also rewarding to see a large project come together and know you contributed to its success.

The most enjoyable part of the job was being part of a collaborative team that genuinely supported each other and valued precision. It was a great place to grow technical and communication skills.

All IT interns beware of job postings for open positions in the Red Bank office specifically. You will get paid a terrible wage and be expected of you to work during vacations, holidays, and PTO days(that frequently get denied by the IT Manager). The firm as a whole is decent for accountants, but if you're looking for an IT role, STAY CLEAR! Management has no clue how to run a department which is why everyone is trying to leave. I'd say the enjoyable part about the job is that the firm often does fun events... ONLY THE IT DEPARTMENT IS RARELY EVER INCLUDED. There is no career advancement and the IT manager will lie to your face on multiple occasions and promise opportunities that will never come. This department relies too heavily on interns and will keep you on as an intern for 6+ months to prevent them from paying a decent salary. If you want to work weekends during busy season while also needing to work on holiday breaks where the rest of the firm has off, this place is for you. If not, save yourself some time and stress and look elsewhere. 

I will be honest, I still don't know if the problem was me (might be), but this was a horrible experience. They had me jumping from one niche to another and that was an issue as I had no experience in Audit accounting. I would learn one niche this week and the following week I would have to forget that and learn a different niche. I have ADD, so I need repetition to be efficient and I did not have that there. Again, this might be more my issue than Withum's issue. Culture was also a problem, I'm a people's person and love and I'm loved almost everywhere I work; however, at Withum this was also a challenge. In the Orlando office there is this atmosphere of cut throat competition. In order for you to fit in, you have to find or establish "your little gang".... trust me, I never seen anything like this before.

I've started with Withum nearly two years ago. That's one of the best choices I've made so far in my career. Great place to work. I usually say that Withum is a family oriented place to work. I'm not going to say that the company is perfect, no... I can only write about my experience. 
I don't want to say much...come see for yourself. 
Hardest part of the job - only if you don't know what you're doing - you'll find yourself behind.
most enjoyable part for me is being part of the firm and coming to work - when I walk in - I can see hope in peoples' faces and that gives me a reason to come to work each day.

Great place to work. Really great people who invest in you learning. Flexible on hours and location (but still a lot of hours). Great culture, and the company does a lot in terms of free lunches, or dinners during peak times. Management listens and does their best to help. However, it is a corporate structure, so some things just will not change. 
It is public accounting, hours are no joke. While its not big 4 hours, its still a lot in my opinion. Off season is still over 40 most weeks.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience and do not regret it one bit.

WithumSmith&Brown is a great company to work for.  You feel like part of a team while working at this firm and the variety of clients you get to work with give you great experiences with your career in accounting.  The management is wonderful and is always there to help you advance in your career.  Staff is very friendly and intelligent.  I enjoyed my time at WithumSmith&Brown and I am happy to say that I was an intergal part of their team when I worked with them.

This is not a place for you to learn or advance.People are not very helpful in guiding you. I worked in the NY office and the people were afraid of losing their job due to the merger between Eisner and WithumSmith & Brown. They do give you flex time, free lunches and vacation time. But you must use your vacation time or lose it.  You do not get paid for unused time.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how well you work but who you know and if you fit in with their culture.

WS&B is the perfect entry-level job for college students, with great potential for advancement, especially for business students pursuing fields like accounting.  The employees are all extremely friendly and sensitive to their clients' needs.  In my opinion, one of the best perks of the company is their involvement in fun team-building events, like celebrating end of year tax seasons and inviting their staff to luxurious venues for winding down after a long year.

I am currently employed with OUM, and they're hands-down the best company I've ever worked for. They care about their employees both personally and professionally, and want to see you grow and succeed. Management is kind, considerate and transparent. We've been remote since March 19, 2020 and the company has handled it with little to no issues (none on my end).

I enjoyed working at Lindquist. Nice people, flexible hours and they allow employees to work independently. Employees are knowledgeable in their field and do a good job. 

However, management is not interested in updating processes, using technology more efficiently or hearing ideas on how to better the company. Very much a “ mom and pop” shop stuck in the past.
