MGO Reviews

1. Poor leadership - serious questions about moral and ethical compasses. Partners' do not get along. The tone at the top is filled with greed, negativity and insecurities. 2. Nepotism - ask how many relatives of the COO's are working at MGO. Actually, ask how many relatives in TOTAL are working at the firm. These people, despite their lack of ability and experience, get promotions ahead of all others... even during Covid when nobody was getting promotions, bonuses, etc. 3. There are some long standing employees (15+ years) and Partners who would not be hirable in their roles given their abilities, yet they are still given preference and not corrected when they create toxic, verbally abusive, work environments for others. 3. HR cannot be trusted. 4. Very high turnover = even longer hours, which is a lot for a CPA firm. 5. Very high turnover in clients as well due to lack of ability to honestly fulfill obligations. 6. Performance reviews and training are non-existent and based on favoritism not facts. Firm refuses to implement upward feedback...

I don't know....where to begin. Entry-level associates are not offered training, so Senior Associates through Directors are doing associate-level work, leaving associates no room for professional growth. Engagements therefore are "top-heavy", and Partners wonder why jobs are always over-budget. The firm only goes after home-run clients, but clearly none of them watch baseball because they don't know how to overcome strike-outs, nor do they know the concept of at least getting on-base. I've seen Fortune 100 CEOs host live chats/webcasts, but in the time I've been with the firm, the CEO never hosted any (just emails sent by his EA). Work-life balance is terrible; I've been parents and those with personal issues get no slack and were still expected to work weekends and take calls late at night, on a whim. I personally had to get a second phone just to tune out the work noise.
