Good place to start out

Pros

- Opportunities to work on different projects once every few months. Some very interesting wins and some not-so-exciting work - Easy access to subject matter experts and learning resources/events - Great international brand - Big bunch of peers in audit - good group of friends to take you through your early years

Cons

- Total comp packages are hardly competitive despite regular assurances from HR and dept news of revenues making huge YOY jumps (a slap in the face for the rank-and-file) - Too broad a range of backgrounds for hires, from top-class grads from great universities to people with questionable qualifications from overseas universities (and dare I say, distance-learning programs + some lame work experience) - Live with the lousy comps (at least until SM level) or leave - there are many others willing to take your place. Probably best to take this as a transitional place to a more lucrative future - Management scrimps and saves on everything employee-related - very lousy or paid pantry snacks, very difficult claims process for employee welfare expenses, partners 'encourage' bus/train to client sites, yearly bonus factors not moving despite great business improvement

Pros

If you put in really hard work, might get recognised. But no guarantee. Hours are really long and a lot of admin tasks

Cons

Colleagues are ready to backstab anytime. The culture is difficult for a new comer to blend in. Ppl are unwilling to help unless there's benefit to them.

Pros

Friendly, intelligent coworkers, large institutional infrastructure, possibility to move up ranks

Cons

Long hours (70-80+ hr. weeks not uncommon), seem to be underpaid for the work you are doing, some inexperienced mid-level managers, not much training or tutoring - it's sink or swim, culture seemed kind of dead, some employees especially managers and up come from very non-elite schools and you wonder how they got in
