Cons
- Very long hours, no work life balance - No dental benefits - Not able to take leave from December to April. Even off peak season can be peak due to clients with different year ends - 14 days annual leave - Glimpse of audits of different companies as an associate instead of deep dive to truly understand and see how the full process is like, does not prepare you for senior role - Promotion can be based on politics
