Pros

- Nice people - Work can be very interesting with opportunities to learn about new industries - Salary is reasonable, but ACA qualification option is very valuable - Company growth is positive and there is little concern over job security

Cons

- Growth increases the workload but the the headcount can't keep up leading to intense pressure and stress - Senior management take mental health and well being seriously but middle management just prioritise completion of work. - Hard work is recognised but typically results in higher expectations and more stress

Pros

Paid time off given for studies and exams, get the ACA after the training contract. The work provides a great learning experience on how finance departments work. Counselling managers willing to listen and help if approached with issues. Seniors usually helpful and willing to teach. Time off in lieu given to make up for overtime worked. Good upward movement in terms of career. Nice people and good socialising when in the office.

Cons

Study support team slow to respond. Lack of communication on work expectations from managers and seniors at times, sometimes leading to working beyond normal hours. Seniors seem stressed. Low pay, below the average graduate starting salary. These cons are probably applicable to all the top accounting firms.
