I have been exposed to wide array of industry during my terms in Moore Stephens International. It encouraged independence and competency.

The job salary is below average compared to other audit firms. The administration system, which is the backbone of the company still has lots to improve.

Advice to Senior Management

Mgmt should encourage feedback from employees and inculcate the sense of belonginess among employees. This in turn will contribute to part of retention rate.
