Pros

Very flexible work environment Paid overtime Pay is ok Benefits are above average

Cons

Firm assurance software and approach is poor Training is more about conforming to a uniform approach as opposed to thinking about situations and how to make things more efficient A very 'conformist' environment, if you follow the manual you're good to go - 'this is how we do it, regardless of the circumstances'

Pros

Pros may vary depending on your manager and team. Unfortunately, my experience was consistently negative, and moving on to another opportunity was the right decision for me.

Cons

Extremely challenging and one of the most difficult professional experiences I have had. My experience was heavily influenced by leadership, communication, and workplace culture. I experienced communication that felt personal rather than constructive, and after raising concerns through the appropriate channels, I did not observe meaningful follow-up. I believe managers should be selected not only for technical expertise but also for leadership ability, emotional intelligence, and cultural awareness. Compensation also felt below market for the responsibilities expected.
