Pros

Learned that bosses (equity partner) are really a typical "China man" mindset business owner. Making you to realise how cruel is the bosses can be when making decisions between profit vs employee welfare.

Cons

Bosses (equity partner) is money oriented. Employees is always treated as a tool no matter how long you worked with them. HR were making efforts to introduce better culture and bringing in more fresh graduate, however HR were having limited resources as bosses only approve limited budget. Current situation of firm as of March 2022: 1)majority of new joiner quit in few months time 2)3months experience staff was being promoted to senior to fill up the gap (mass resignation of senior) 3)workforce shortage lead to higher workload and tighter dateline. 4)Engagement team size shrunken to 50% smaller than previous year team size, however workload remained. 5)Management did not hold their promise made in townhall meeting. Promises are being fulfilled in a not very sincere way. e.g: promise to introduce one week firm break but end up giving us a week break during public holidays week.

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
