While they give time off for exam prep etc, it does affect your chances of getting good assignments/promotions
Pros: Open culture, informal - you can walk into the partner's cabin and talk to him any time
They do tend to be pretty flexible about allowing you to switch teams, if you have the tenacity to keep asking for the transfer
Cons: Zero work-life balance, also at times (at least in India) seems like an Old Boys club. Moreover, in spite of trying to build a business advisory practice, they still seem to go at assignments from a accounting angle, and do not consider other out-of-the-box ideas for tackling an engagement
