I had a recruiter contact me from McGladrey. She is sending my info to two different offices to see if they have any interest in me. I have been in public accounting at a very small firm for over 4 years. I work in both tax and audit. However, I discussed with the recruiter that I only want to work in audit. I was just wanting to know if anyone had any opinions on McGladrey. What the culture is like? What the work/life balance is like with audit in the firm. Currently, I only work overtime during tax season, and then it is only 50 hours a week.

Do you ever look at glassdoor.com? I find it really helpful. I know McGladrey is a Big 10 firm, at least. Probably not as laid back as you are use to, but may offer more interesting engagements.

The only knowledge I have of McGladrey is one of their firms in Florida comes up here to Alabama and does some big audits that my firm had some stuff to do with.

I think they fly up on Monday and leave after work on Thursdays. They do that every week until the audits are finished. I talked with a couple of the auditors and they mentioned travelling a lot for work. I would imagine that's pretty standard, so if you're good with travelling a lot, then you may like it.

McGladrey is a great place to work. How busy your schedule will be really depends on the city you'll be in. The bigger offices will have a lot more hours but the smaller offices are pretty laid back.

Thanks for the info. Both offices are in smaller cities.
