Senior Associate - Core Assurance Houston
Pros: Supposedly prestigious. But that probably seems to be a facade.
Cons: The upper management is very racist. A bunch of fifty plus white men who would not let anyone from a diverse background move up. The performance rating system is very opaque and is a popularity contest. It is grossly unfair and the firm exploits imported foreign talent by paying them below market and denying them promotion on flimsy grounds. They think that the person is on a work visa and so is a ripe candidate for exploitation. The Houston office for one seems like something out of a slave plantation from the 1800s. There are international managers being paid less than white senior associates. International senior associates are denied promotion for several years on flimsy grounds. Meagre pay raise of 1k and a 1k bonus is a further slap on the face on a yearly basis. They even shelved the contribution awards program whereby they’d hand you $1k semi-annually. Expect more then 100 hrs of work in January and February if you are on any listed engagement. There would be no overtime for this.
