Pros

1. Nothing 2. Nothing 3. Nothing 4. Nothing 5. Nothing

Cons

Highly political environment. Career advisors are not interested in fulfilling their jobs and they don't like to advise employees on their performance, instead, meet with senior management at so called GROW meeting (performance evaluation meeting) to recommend senior management for layoffs of employees they don't like or suggested by Audit Managers due to grudges against their not favorite ones . The people withing the firm do back biting, especially the audit managers and other senior level staff. They call the employees from other developing countries and after one busy season, they simply lay off them by labelling them as not meeting firm's expectations. So potential employees coming from abroad take this matter serious when making decision to join this hell. The busy season is on throughout the year so never ending. Audit Managers are not friendly and they are more political and likely to have grudges against the employees they don't like.

Toxic environment with no support if you speak out. Long hours with crap pay and partners who look down their nose at you yet don't know how to use Excel.
