EY, Kota Kinabalu branch, Malaysia  - Push you to your limit every single day
Pros: 1) International reputation of BIG 4
2) Looks good on resume 
3) professional development and working experience for CPA/ACCA candidates
Cons: 1) Partners rarely take care or listen to the feedback of their staff. Senior managers do not appreciate their staffs' hard work but blame them on every single mistake they made.

2) Expect staff to OT everyday including weekends. My colleague's probation was extended because he ONLY work from 8.30am until 8pm EVERYDAY. 

3) Work life balance is a lie and a joke.

4) As a former staff who worked in EY a year, I did not get any proper training. I was expected to skip some of the training in order to finish up my work. Besides that, the training session was bad as it was conducted by internal staff (manager, senior manager) in EY rather than a professional speaker. Sure they are good auditor, but definitely not a good teacher.
