Audit Associate
Pros: -Working with amazing, kind, hard working co-workers. Most people I interacted with on the job were of the highest caliber. 
-Clear job path.
Cons: -They intentionally understaff teams. There is always far more work than people to do it, meaning that people have to perpetually work long hours.
-The hours. Often it's in order to make a tight deadline. But people would regularly still stayed late even if there was no pressing deadline and the manager said, "don't stay late tonight." 
-Middle management tends to justify the long hours by saying something along the lines of, "The team at Client X has it worse. They haven't had a weekend of this month! You should be thankful that we only have to work on Saturday."  
-Because of the hours, people tend to not have any outside hobbies.
-The work hours are mostly spent in silence in a conference room (which may or may not have windows depending on the client), staring at Excel sheets. Not super stimulating stuff.
