Employee Reviews
“The firm promotes with ease the ability to work remotely or in the office, and as long as you get your work done, you can take time off whenever you like. Grassi is a high energy busy firm, so there isn’t a lot of downtime during working hours.”
“We are encouraged to use our generous PTO. Unless it’s during tax season, you’re pretty much guaranteed to get your PTO approved. We’re allowed to work from home, and we have incredible autonomy over our days. I don’t take any of this for granted, as it was not the same at my previous firm. You’re not micromanaged at Grassi.”
“The PTO policy is excellent, the culture is great, and the flexibility is great. One downside is that depending on your department and level, taking PTO can be challenging, as clients often need assistance and may not always be able to get the answer from other team members if they are reliant on advice from that individual or something that individual works on. This is not necessarily a Grassi-specific issue but rather a public accounting-specific issue.”
“Everyone is treated with respect and always willing to help you learn. PTO is generous and easy to use. Tax season hours can be too long and inhumane.”
Getting Hired Here
“During the interview process, they were responsive, and I connected multiple times with the recruiter throughout the process. The actual interview was relatively standard, mainly consisting of a conversation gauging your experience, attitude, and if you would be a good team player.”
“The interview process is handled by a great team of recruiters who will guide every person through the process from start to finish. The decision process is streamlined—we act fast on great talent. Our ideal candidate is someone who wants to take ownership, learn, and strive to produce a great working environment for all.”
“The firm has a robust, active recruiting process and is always looking for best-in-class candidates to fill openings at all levels.”
“Outside of HR, the team I was expected to work with reached out to me on their own to offer their support and help with the process. Several connected with me on LinkedIn and made me feel confident that their intentions were to connect with me and make sure that we were the right fit for each other. I was surprised to see emails from the partner and other members of leadership outside of recruiting genuinely offering me advice on the job search and not self-promoting. It showed me that the team was genuine and collaborative.”
