Pros

None at all and not even the “brand” name

Cons

Risk consulting lacks leadership and management (and pretty much everything. The seniors barely know anything and make embarrassing mistakes infront of clients on a regular basis. The waistcoat brigade have ZERO technical knowledge, no idea how to respect people and often make inappropriate remarks. They love gossiping and doing sub-standard work for their clients and also share confidential staff issues with each other. Basically a bunch of deluded people who hide behind a failing brand name.. nowhere near as good as the other big 4 and the news headlines are a very fair reflection of that! They have been trying to hire people for the last two years and nobody joins the team. After spending sometime there, you can see why! So glad I managed to jump off this sinking ship..

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
