Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Forvis Mazars?
Overall, the training has been very good. In my first few years with the firm, I received adequate support and development opportunities.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
Leading audits, supervising junior team members, allocating work, and supporting their development and learning.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?

Delivering work on time is highly valued by partners and managers
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
4/5
I believe the compensation offered is fair and aligned with industry standards.
How well do you feel the role is preparing you for your future career?
4/5
I have developed a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of reporting.
How would you rate the extent to which you were developing new or existing skills through formal training and your day-to-day role?
3/5
Most of my development this year has been in technical areas, as the firm has provided more training and opportunities focused on technical skills. There has been less formal training available for soft‑skill development, so this area has progressed more slowly.

Experience & Company Culture

How is the support you receive?
3/5
Line managers are very supportive, and the buddy system is helpful. However, HR support can be inconsistent, and queries are not always responded to in a timely manner.
How is your work-life balance?
4/5
In my department, the workload is fairly consistent throughout the year, so we don’t typically experience any particularly intense busy periods.
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
4/5
I would say the culture is inclusive, with an increasing emphasis on hybrid working.
How would you rate Forvis Mazars initiatives when it comes to equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility?
3/5
There are currently few female partners in my team, suggesting an opportunity to improve gender representation at senior levels.
How would you rate Forvis Mazars CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives?
5/5
We have an annual volunteering day, and the firm regularly highlights additional opportunities to get involved through the foundation.
