Insurance sector
Pros: 1) most are generally friendly

2) coaching system which actually works and not for show

3) ability to switch departments if you express your interest

4) audit software is easy to pick up

5) flex dressing
Cons: 1) one of the directors have anger management issue. Always vent his frustration on staff and expect the staff to pick up his call immediately whenever he calls. I think I got depression. Mind you, the engagement isn't just 1 week but at least 2 weeks or more. Classic example of leading by fear. And he doesn't realize he is making people leave the firm. 

2) shortage of seniors and managers (as usual)

3) unused leave can't be brought forward, so you are forced to clear leave, and you may still have to work during that leave period.

4) some secretaries and colleagues from other departments can be nasty and rude

5) some managers can be quick to judge seniors as 'incompetent'. Everyone should know each individual has different learning pace.

6) one of the managers have almost zero existence in the engagement, and has no inkling of some of the basic knowledge of the client. This manager also loves to delegate everything to team members when some of the tasks can be completed by her in less than 5 minutes.
