FSO Assurance - Good place to learn
Pros: Great collaborative culture, exposure to complex and diverse client base, early opportunity to manage people and develop soft skills.
Flexibility.
Cons: Very rigid model - if you don't fit the mole then you will be unhappy here. A lot of stress placed on involvement outside of core responsibilities which at 60+ hours is ridiculous; feels like you are still stuck in high school with some people over eager to get extra credit for participating in this and that initiative. Favoritism, I have seen good people being stuck at bad jobs and never given the chance to develop and vice versa.The higher the ranks you get, the favoritism is more obvious.
During busy season you can kiss your life goodbye.
