Definitely not what I expected
Pros: Accelerated introduction to corporate environments and professional services. Nice to have on CV, especially if you are an accountant.
Cons: Pay is less than other big 4, particularly in audit. Performance review process is annoying, political, and illogical. Executives market themselves as the 'disrupters' but cannot get their own techology and delivery centres to work efficiently. A lot of audit staff are unhappy and openly discuss plans to leave due to the culture, hours, expectations and pay. This creates a revolving door of staff (particularly at experienced analyst/senior level) but management seem to have given up on finding a sensible solution. It appears the audit leaders preferred method of dealing with this is to conduct mass recruitment drives in countries like South Africa, rather than proactively fix the underlying issues.
