Work culture like no other!
Pros: 1. The best culture when it comes to Statutory Audit. I have personally experienced that even if you are a new joinee / fresher- your opinions are welcomed even in the toughest of situations. You are a part of the planning process as well (though not for huge audits). Further, there is a conscious effort to help you learn the latest amendments in laws or the best of the techniques to audit.
2. Coming from a mid size firm or a small size CA firm- the experience would be really good. Because the processes are so good that you yourself would become more organised while working. It helps you to be a better professional.
3. My team has a good work life balance - i only work Saturdays on extreme cases (say 1 saturday in a month - which is good compared to other big 3).
Cons: 1. All the above Pros are highly dependent on the team you get. And moving from 1 team to another is a not easily possible when you are at the lowest level in the pyramid - Assistant Manager. Further, if you are on a hectic audit or have a pathetic manager (there are quite a few) - you wont even last 6 months.2 of my friends left within 4 months because of their managers.
2. They pay the worst compared to the other Big 3.
3. There are no offsites like EY or KPMG. Therefore, a 'fun' element goes out of the window.
4. The HR team is probably the worst  compared to the other big 3. They are non responsive (comparatively) and therefore the interviews are not a great experience.
