terrible experience
Pros: 1. totally no life-work balance. get up around 6am, leave home around 7am, get back home around 11pm. no additional compensation for extra time work.
2. in the past one and half year, almost learn nothing from the work. done a lot of projects, however, almost no chance to learn the details of the projects. client might spend couple year to finish a model, we need finish a report about this model within a very short time. even you are very experienced, you can not get the all the trick part of the model. actually, there is even more worse things, due to the short time, we are not able to do any testing about the client's model. essentially, just pick some nice sentence from client's own report, re-write into our report. if i am keeping doing this, i might be able to realize my writer's dream.
Cons: very political working environment. remind me the situation of China in middle 80s.
senior managers almost do nothing directly for the project, they might just setting there, arrange facilities, but they are not facilities person.
one more funny story, a accounting master in ey is doing derivative pricing project.
