Audit Associate
Pros: If you’re lucky like me, you will have amazing managers and seniors who genuinely care for you. 

Very technology-savy - claim your taxi with an app immediately

Audit support is amazing - we have great centralisation team such as bank confirmation team, typist etc 

Great benefit if you take Singapore Chartered Accountant Programme such as - 10 days study leave every 6 months and private tuition paid for. (Other Big 4s are not even anywhere near this)

A lot of recreational events - you may not be free to join all the time but the firm tries to organise them. 

Clubhouse is amazing - it really shows that we work hard and play hard.
Cons: It’s really luck - you can work like a slave if you’re unlucky such as mean clients or managers or just very tedious jobs.

You do get lull periods but everything is uncertain (i.e. when and for how long)

Like all companies, some seniors/managers/partners are really bad leaders and may abuse their power (i.e. talk down on people). 

They don’t listen to what you want (I.e. try out other functions or industries) until you tender.
