Pros

The working environment is not very good, you are subjected to mobbing by some managers, you work a lot of overtime and when the wage at the end of the month is calculated, your hourly wage corresponds to half of the minimum wage. There is a policy of too much work but too little salary.

Cons

We don't perform a materiality level audit above PM like Big4, we review all accounts above CTT balances. This means much more workload than other audit firms. But we learn auditing better. However, I don't think such a workload is necessary. Nonsense!

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
