A good opportunity to learn, not so-good employer
Pros: - Learn lots of things in a quite short time span
- Occasionally receive senior-level exposures while still being an associate
Cons: In general:
- Horrible working hours

In comparison with other Big4:
- Long probation period and inconvenient grade promotion cutoff timing
- Every year, many new hires (even the good ones) are terminated without any sensible reason
- Low audit fee: resulting in difficulties when trying to get compensated for overtime hours
- Not really selective when reviewing a client. Sometimes bumps into a client with horrible bookkeeping
- In some clients, the teams are severely understaffed
