During the later part of my tenure with Andersen, I expressed my concerns publicly in several partner meetings and privately to various internal players; however, as someone who had not grown up with the firm, I found that my actions to speak up - - especially when my views were not consistent with Arthur Andersen business unit leadership's preferences - - were somewhat counter-cultural.
I expressed my concerns in various meetings, but I feel I wasn't taken seriously because I hadn't grown up with the firm.
I have been at the firm longer than anyone.
