Pros

1. Open door policy 2. Some of the seniors are very supportive of junior staff and have the capability to be a good mentor. 3. Events throughout the year (parties, sports fest, etc.)

Cons

1. The partners involved in management are of Auditing and assurance specially the ones looking after the HR related work, they don't understand the student perspective of CA life. No leaves are given to students beyond 1st attempt. 2. There is no overtime pay. you do get compensatory offs of extra hours you have put in but most of the partners don't allow us to fill in the time sheets with the actual amount of hours worked, also the comp off can be availed only once, after that the remaining leaves expires. 3. They try to bring in policies like that in big four. but the implimentation is way too poor. 4. All the good people who work in the firm, either leave, or change department.

Pros

Some folks are great to work with. Some of the leaders really do care.

Cons

Workday practice is a total mess. They have trouble selling work and hours are much lower than they should be so consultants end up spread very thin across multiple projects and still can't hit utilization targets on paper even if they are working very hard in actuality. The independence requirements are insane!! If I had known I would have to disclose all of my investments and be told wha t I am or am not allowed to invest money in I would not have taken the job. Independence is total hell and most consulting firms don't subject employees to those invasive requirements.
