Pros

- Top factor: People. The people are very willing to help out one another and provide guidance. - Experience gained, however this is expected from an audit firm

Cons

Too many to be explained in depth - Worst factor: Ridiculous remuneration package. Simply insulting and not even competitive amongst the midtier, not to even mention the big 4 - Poor benefits (staff pantry remains with a large tin of biscuits and tin of milo even during covid period whereas client's pantry has individual packaged drinks and snacks p.s. we can already see the clear difference between treatment of client and staff) - Non-existent staff retention - Work to pay ratio is hopeless - Constant implementation of redundant changes to processes which is very inefficient and prove as a hassle to the staff (change in data analytics software to cut costs, eFS to save costs in hiring admin department, frequent update to audit forms which does not value add) - Some (not all) upper management that clearly do not know what they are doing and merely raise redundant points to portray work done which makes staff life difficult. Also request for staff judgement and opinion but clearly does not listen.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
