Pros

Produces a well rounded auditor capable of performing tax, audit and assurance unlike other local competing firms which are departmentalized. Hours are flexible and auditors are able to have a social life outside of work.

Cons

There isn't much cons to list to be honest. The organization is a great one, where training and development is encouraged.

Pros

* More down to earth (connected) people than Big4 * Relatively good work-life balance * Low emphasis on hierarchy / short lines between junior staff and management * Secondary benefits are quite good

Cons

* Too much focus on relative position compared to Big4 * (Historical) focus on SME companies can be an issue, for one, it's tough to get in the market for larger, long-term client engagements in the Advisory business

Long work hours. However, it is expected in audit industry. Starting salary is not attractive however, will grow as your rank does up.
