Pros

Brand name, decent collegaues and client-base for exposure

Cons

Poor remuneration relative to the competitors, Pathetic increments, terrible benefits ($100 in dental and basically nothing else), terrible management, Terrible HR practice (Staff below the AM level are bonded for 20 months: 18 months + 2 month notice period) company tries to increase market share by offering low fees and this in turn affects staff remuneration

Pros

Friendly colleagues, decent office location

Cons

Sub par management, mostly from Big Four coming here to get a second shot at their career objectives. Very poor infrastructure due to extremely tight cost control. Very limited IT, HR and Marketing Communications departments which exist for the sake of existing. Staff are here just so that they can move on to the Big Four later on, hence the bond, and the firm knows that deep down. Current salary level is the same for more than 6 years. Yet despite all this, the firm aims to be the "Big Five". Former colleagues who moved on to the Big Four all agreed that the Big Four are just way ahead professionally, socially, culturally, etc.
