Pros

Nice colleague (excluding management), lots to learn

Cons

Toxic and petty management, not worth the hours and pay - non-existent work life balance, terrible pay and bonus. Slow and petty on pay adjustment when the industry was doing it. Do everything lackluster to attract and retain talents apart from paying decently. Arrogant and most are nothing without their title, just plain ugly personality, only good at talking, drinking and literally manage people instead of leading. No transparency, hold anonymous QnA during townhall and meetings but answers only the questions favourable to them and gives typical PR/political answer. Also likes to mislead people, always so loud about opportunities like secondment, internal transfer, study sponsorship, but never upfront on the “TnC” like need be certain position, get certain grade for appraisal. Outsourcing department recent years have been raising client fees, sundry on top of the fees also raised from 3% to 5%. Yet they say financials not good although headcount had been stagnant. Fees increase, headcount stagnant, how financials not good? Just greedy partners. Ever since the one and only angmo partner left, things changed for the worse. Limiting pantry snacks, change coffee beans to cheap nasty one, limiting kitchen towel for pantry. Changed flexi benefit from reimbursement basis to payout 50% in July and 50% in December and if you resign before payout, you get NONE, instead of prorating like reimbursement basis. Split 50% payout also not equal time apart, why July instead of June? For a petty reason and here’s why. Bonus is also split, 40% (1st payout) in May and 60% (2nd payout) in January next year and if you resign within 1 month after taking bonus, they will clawback the bonus. So they don’t want people who resign in June after securing May bonus to get the flexi benefit. In 2024 they also discreetly reduce May bonus to 30% and wasn’t transparent on this. They never made official announcement and partners say it unofficially on ground, only when people questioned on the very little bonus. Glad many people left because of this and they truly deserve the mass resignation, says a lot about their management. This is not how you treat your staff, absolutely disgusting

Pros

Great opportunity to develop tax and accounting skills while working with experienced professionals.

Cons

Limited exposure to different types of tax returns, and the size of the office sometimes made it difficult to gain broad experience across multiple areas.

Pros

-Great benefits, managers are supportive of employees taking their unlimited FTO. Lots of vacation time including a week off between Christmas Eve and New Year’s day, and two days off around July 4th -Flexible Spending Account, $250 quarterly -Overall nice people and nice and supportive management who tries their best with what they have

Cons

-Bonuses are really small, borderline insulting -No merit raises ever, 3%-4% increase in pay each year. Pay is much lower than other big professional services firms. -No diversity, not a single person of color on the entire digital marketing and marketing/business development team. Actually maybe one asian person. Seems weird but maybe I’m just used to diverse settings. -Hard to connect with other team members, no culture. Just work and log out.
