Pros

- Young audit team and very social - everyones in the same boat with exams etc. so great team spirit - Progression of responsibility is fast, getting involved in most areas of the clients business within one year. - Clear job progression to supervisor and manager etc. - Respectful of overtime, always trying to minimise it. Not as bad as the big 4 from what I've heard.

Cons

- As a placement student there was a lack of continued training. Initial internal training was great, but unless you've previously studied accounting it can be hard to keep progressing throughout the year. - Some months you would barely be in the office (travelling to clients offices during the week) which can make it hard keep a good out of work routine going (gym, social, etc.)
