Cons Slightly Outweigh the Pros
Pros: •	You learn a lot within a short span of time - both your soft skills and technical skills improve quickly
•	You never do the exact same task twice and get assigned challenging tasks that help you develop professionally
•	You get the opportunity to audit companies ranging in size and industry
•	You are given leadership roles within 2 years of joining the firm and find yourself leading teams and meetings and interacting heavily with internal managers and with high up client contacts
Cons: •	It's a hit or miss when it comes to the guidance you receive when you're assigned a challenging task - it all depends on the manager that you're working with
•	Managers tend to place blame on more junior associates when things get out of hand
•	Because you get assigned/picked up on projects and because everyone wants to work with fair managers, competition exists
•	Because efficiency and technical knowledge are prioritised qualities, weaknesses of good performers are bypassed even if they negatively impact teams
•	The overtime hours are more excessive than is advertised and you do not get compensated for them
