Pros

Good work-life balance, where office is almost empty by 5:30 PM. Active Social Club, with a good number of activities such as parties and outdoor events. Good diversity in people, especially in IT Advisory. Easy-going office environment. Annual leave of 5 weeks for 'Manager' and up. Right place if you can generate Business and get new Clients.

Cons

Lack of relevant or appropriate work. Highly-skilled people doing low-level jobs or pushed towards generating revenue (Business Development). High turnover at all levels and exits almost on a weekly basis. People working in silos. Upper Management mainly consists of Accountants, and people from STEM or MBA background are not visible. Salary is 15%-30% less than what market pays and hikes (annual or promotions) is in the range of 1%-5% and sometimes nil. Not the right place if you are technology focused or are looking to hone your skills in Project Management or as a Consultant. Professionals from bigger economies would find scale of projects to be shallow or 'easy/not challenging'. Forget about large-scale projects or projects spanning multiple time-zones.

Pros

It's one of what they call the big 4 international accounting companies.

Cons

The expected work rate is extremely high and not maintainable for a long period of time without negatively affecting your health. When joining the organisation you are expected to operate at this level from the word go and no time is given to get to grips with everything first.
