Pros

They hire fresh grads and overwork these poor staff until they don’t want to be in the audit field anymore. Great view of MBS

Cons

1. 2 years bond and you have to repay 6 months salary if you break the bond - no basis 2. Low salary with no CPF compared to other mid tier firms 3. As assistant manager, be prepared to handle over 20 portfolios while receiving senior pay in big 4 Overall, not a good company to work for.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
