Employee Reviews


  • “The firm really takes its work/life balance and culture seriously and wants the staff to thrive in our work environment. The scheduling department helps keep everyone from becoming overbooked with work.”
  • “The firm is taking strides to level the playing field in the battle between work and life with things like: holiday week office closures, Summer Fridays, robust PTO accruals, and limiting the charge hours. But it’s still public accounting. The charge goals are reasonable here. It’s rare you'll have to push 60+ hours, but it does happen. The cyclical nature of the industry is inescapable, but Marcum tries hard to limit the disruption to your life.”
  • “PTO policy is great and one of the main reasons why I have stayed in the industry. I never have issues from my team when I plan my PTO in advance. And Marcum is flexible when things come up in our lives outside work and shows that it cares about their employees’ well-being and work/life balance. They also continuously make efforts to make employees feel appreciated. Even during the hectic busy season, they try to do nice things for us that make the stress feel more bearable, and I look forward to coming into the office and spending time working and socializing with my coworkers. I also feel like they care about making it a safe space where employees are free to be themselves and feel respected.”
  • “The firm offers many ways to add balance into your life. Alternative work arrangements, core hours, sabbaticals, remote work, many days offered for PTO, sick leave, etc. As you get higher up in the firm, it may become harder to take advantage of these perks. If you are the main person managing client groups, you must take the initiative to plan out your schedule and reach out to management to provide support for you if you'd like to take a lot of time off or change your schedule. If you are a well-established employee (and have good performance evaluations), there are never any issues with requesting more balance in schedule. The firm is willing to do what they can to make you happy.”
