Audit
Pros: Young workforce and large departments, in theory, allow for a good social environment.

Nature of the work is not difficult, so keep your head down and you should go far. Survive 5 years and most your peers will have moved on allowing you to rise up the ranks.
Cons: Often sent to random areas of England. Staying in a premier inn for the umpteenth time very quickly loses its novelty. 

Rigid culture, no room for creativity. Many senior staff aren't just 'by the book', they wrote the book!

Work of an auditor is dull and tedious. Clients don't want you there, you don't want to be there; you go in on a Monday and pray you get through to the weekend.

First 3 years are spent revising for exams which eats up all your social time, only to then be rewarded with the title of assistant manager which results in 12 hour days and weekends spent in the office working.
