Nice enough, money not that good

Intermediate accountant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed environment, nice culture, pay for CA course, the hours are reasonable if you don't want to make it to management someday

Cons

Plays at being Big 4, pays like Mid-Tier. Will never offer benefit greater than competitors regardless of how the position is marketed to you

If you work hard and do what you are told you will do just fine

Experienced associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Corporate Ladder is clearly defined and easy to climb as long as you do what you're told. You have a career advisor, and mine was unbelievably amazing (although I think this was rare), and they help you do well and they are supposed to be communicating with you frequently. We had a guy make manager by 26 years old but he was very very good. If you are a social person you will do very well.

Cons

Your hourly wages will dip below minimum wage during April and October because Your Salary remains the same, there is no bonus, and there is no over-time. There is just this mentality there that it's expected you work in a sweatshop. Because of this, everyone looks and seems very unhappy. It's a revolving door. However if you can handle that you could be a millionaire by the time your 35 years old. You will however have no friends, may or may not develop a substance dependency, and your morals will be non-existent.
