Terrible place to work, glad I left
Pros: Unfortunately, the only pro I can think of is the reputation of the company (Big 4 name). Besides that, there really aren't any positives to working here and it's sad people will give up years of their life to work here hoping to climb up this imaginary career ladder to get them to a "stable" or "better" future
Cons: I absolutely was disgusted with my entire time here. I left after a year but that was already too long and regret staying for a whole year. The training did nothing to prepare you for the workload and once the audit starts, many teams don't provide adequate on the job training or have time to answer questions adequately so you're stuck trying to understand everything on your own. People are impatient, busy, arrogant, and condescending which makes for a toxic environment. Compensation was also low and there was no work-life balance. People are constantly looking for other opportunities and someone quits every week. The only reason people stay is their "hope" of a better future. I'm in a much better place now that I left and am working for a company I absolutely love and adore so to those who are scared of leaving because the Big 4 poisons your mind into thinking you're committing career suicide, that is absolutely not true.
