Pros
-Decent exit opportunities after leaving (to big 4 or industry). -Support with work is available if you reach out, particularly for juniors. -The pressure is slightly less than that of a Big 4 Audit firm. -Office Culture may be fun for some especially if you fit the anglo, male Australian stereotype.
Cons
-Low compensation and high turnover rate. -Can be cliquey with office gossip being a norm. It can feel like a (private) high school popularity contest. Can recall incident when coworker's sensitive discussions with management seemed to be spread to other employees (who should not have been aware). -Lack of work-life balance, however, this is a norm for audit. Management has not yet embraced the idea of working from home. -Management seems more concerned with productivity than mental health. -Office politics and being 'liked' by management is important, which can favour those who share the same interests as the culturally Anglo-dominated leadership. These politics can also impact the clients you get, as managers choose their own team for 'fun' international or interstate trips. -While there is diversity at the company, it does not seem to be integrated into the workplace culture. The culture is very Anglo-centric. The diversity society only consists of a parents group and women's group (which doesn't seem to address women of colour issues) , and is lacking compared to other professional services firms.
