Great place - If Big 4 is your thing
Pros: - Young & ambitious colleagues. It can be a pleasure to work with like-minded people that enjoy doing their work (most of the time :) )
- Career opportunities. With a little luck, ambition and network, career opportunities are endless.
- Variety of projects. If played right (that is being open-minded, ambitious and generally interested) it is easy to get involved in a variety of different projects/industries.
- Opportunities for training. Generally, there is a minimum of training hours that will need to be fulfilled (+training on the job, which is common); In addition though, the firm supports and encourages certifications such as from ISACA (CISA, CISSP....).
- Strong advisory/consulting business
Cons: - Huge global company with sometimes a lot of politics (e.g. multiple service lines claiming ownership over projects , new teams being created for the sake of creating a team for someone to lead). This might not really affect new joiners though.
- Relatively weak back-office; Depending on the grade be prepared to fulfill both a client facing role as well as creating client invoices, printing them, archive them, mail them...This can be in addition to a variety of internal calls, meetings etc, so especially on a junior level it will be difficult to set priorities straight, if not supported by a good appraiser/mentor (that`s the common system).
