Pros

- probably after pwc the next best in terms of welfare - better working hours than audit overall - if you like high pressure and being so busy that you dont even have time to go toilet then this job is for you

Cons

- pay is 3k and 3.2k if youre FCH. fixed, non negotiable. lower than other big 4s - too much work, forever shortstaffed, not hiring enough people - certain seniors/(assistant) managers which you'll have to report to are outright mean and will bully you - everyone one is busy and unwilling to help/teach - no guidance at all, have to figure everything out on your own - they will not teach you how to do tax. they expect you to already know

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.
