Not the best of the Big 4
Pros: - Exposure to different industries
- Good stepping stone to launch your career
- Fun colleagues
- Challenging work
Cons: - Poor compensation. For FY2020, even though our department achieved our budget, there was reduction in increment and bonuses, with management giving excuses of 'Covid-19'. Even so, all I have seen is more projects coming in, so this is really unfair.
- Ridiculous bonus payment schedule. Our financial year starts from 1 July to 30 June. However, our bonus is only given on December (60%), and then the following year March (40%). Which is ridiculous.
- Poor work life balance. You are expected to work when on leave. There is no respect on your personal life outside of working hours
- Poor benefits. Any rank below manager, you won't be getting dental, optical and gym benefits. The other big 4 offers this kind of benefit to all ranks.
- No clear communication between management and staffs. Management do not actively communicate what's going on with the business. When pitching for new jobs, management do not actively engage staffs or ask staffs for opinion/feedback. Even during staff planning, management do not ask for staffs opinion/feedback
