Not the best choice for graduates
Pros: Just anounced payrise for a small percentage.

Intelligent people to work with.

Good application to up to date software and applied data tech in audit process to reduce work load.
Cons: ACA Qualification mainly self learning based. My advise is if you are not good at self study choose another big 4.

The pathway is horrible with limited support. Very time pressured. Need to take own holiday to study constantly. Much lower passing rate and fails for difficult papers such as tax.

Firm support is very limited. Students were not allowed to pay extra to get personal tutor from training school coz 'firm believes that extra course is not needed' which is apparently not the case.

And yet this pathway will continue in use because it is much much cheaper.

Feedback process is subjective and unfair. Too much office politics and no work life balance with demanding managers.
