Good place to start out
Pros: - Opportunities to work on different projects once every few months. Some very interesting wins and some not-so-exciting work
- Easy access to subject matter experts  and learning resources/events
- Great international brand
- Big bunch of peers in audit - good group of friends to take you through your early years
Cons: - Total comp packages are hardly competitive despite regular assurances from HR and dept news of revenues making huge YOY jumps (a slap in the face for the rank-and-file)
- Too broad a range of backgrounds for hires, from top-class grads from great universities to people with questionable qualifications from overseas universities (and dare I say, distance-learning programs + some lame work experience)
-  Live with the lousy comps (at least until SM level) or leave - there are many others willing to take your place. Probably best to take this as a transitional place to a more lucrative future
-  Management scrimps and saves on everything employee-related - very lousy or paid pantry snacks, very difficult claims process for employee welfare expenses, partners 'encourage' bus/train to client sites, yearly bonus factors not moving despite great business improvement
