Lots of hours, job is getting tougher in tough economic times

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Looks great on a resume - Good training - Great for networking and learning about different firms - Always interesting, as in I'm always in different offices working with different people

Cons

- I'm highly skeptical of some of how truthful the management of the firm is during rough times. They keep repeating that there will be no layoffs, rather they mask the layoffs as 'performance issues' when that is clearly not the motivating factor - They keep chipping away and asking for more and more in these times. I just feel very nickel and dimed sometimes. - Long hours - having to deal with clients that hate auditors and like to make you life miserable - Mandatory 50 hour weeks during busy season, with no overtime paid (however your lucky if you can get away with just working 50)

Nice place to work for but low compensation and tough working culture sometimes really hurts...

Business Outlook

Pros

Experiencing high learning curve in the first years of your employment If you are a fresh graduate, dynamic workforce thanks to low average employee age makes workplace an funny place, which I believe this is an important contributor to your motivation.

Cons

Long-working hours can sometimes treat your health even, this is a tough place to work for. And low compensation makes you feel that kind of "I don't deserve that less salary, very often"

A lot like Russian Roulette

Business Outlook

Pros

They really tried hard to retain as many people as possible last year vs the other big 4. If you get put on the right engagement, with the right team and work for someone who actually gives a damn, you will have the most beautiful time working here. Fingers crossed.

Cons

Arbitrary review system that breeds demotivation and resentment. At the same time a lot of time and effort spent to PR the system that failed, at least this year. Throwing people under the bus and 'hazing' those underneath you happens more than it should.
