Bad experience
Pros: Same as other big four firm in term of work exposure.
Cons: There are rooms for improvement in the firm. Disappointingly, the practices in the firm are not up to the other big four standards. 
1. Management tend convey message and decision without hard evidence which all the time sound more like an excuse than the real fact. Hence, lack of transparency. 
2. The firm should be honest in the recruitment process. Applicants should not only know the opportunity the firm can offer but also the risks of joining the firm. For example, giving false hope that the mid joiner can be promoted the coming round when it is because of the timing of joining the firm is dishonesty. Those who are joining the firm especially after December do expect that no promotion in the coming round even how much hard work is put into the firm to prove your worthiness. Just do not believe what the firm say during the recruitment!
3. Coaching is bad. No proper coaching and most of the time do not know how did your perform and where to improve.
4. No clear performance goal especially for mid joiner. Hence, achieving the minimum rating for promotion which will still leave you confuse for not being promoted. The firm simply provide an unacceptable reason just to not let you move up to the next level.
