CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Open door policy (but beware because whatever you tell the higher up are always shared to their "puppets"). Good working environment except when you are not part of the "in" group. Good salary as compared to big 4 audit firms.

Cons

Client base is so small that seniors end up working on the same client for years. Review process needs to be improved and not based solely on the managers professional and sometimes personal view of the person.

Audit semi senior

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- free breakfast at baker street before 8.30am (to the value of £1.50...therefore toast and tea) - pretty nice office in london (poor outside london) - work plenty of hours for the same annual pay - aca out of it...probably MAIN BENEFIT

Cons

- no recognition - all about the right handshake, wink wink, ill see you right mate attitude - HR appalling - racist firm (NO JOKE) - made (i.e. forced) to undertake jobs above your pay grade with client none the wiser (unethical to say the least) all about saving costs on charge out rates - as a firm overall its in decline and if i could rewind the clock...most likely would have gone big 4.

Pros

Experience, great colleagues for the most part, great training.

Cons

Expectations were not always clear, lack of respect from management, and not the best work life balance atmosphere, even during non busy season hours.
