Pros
Near to public transport Exposure to deal with China-based clients.
Cons
Management does not respect contractual notice periods. Staff who declined the request can expect "performance punishment" in the form of extra queries—both significant and trivial. High turnover rate. Most staff leave in less than a year. The constant pressure have caused some juniors to suffer from depression. Gap in core accounting knowledge at the management level. Notably, the manager’s name cannot be found on the public register of members for relevant professional accounting bodies. Management monitors how long staff take for meal breaks, especially during weekend/holiday overtime. Mistakes are often met with lengthy verbal reprimands rather than constructive feedback when facing tight deadlines. Leave is often approved at the very last minute—sometimes the night before despite following all SOPs. Manager escalate minor admin errors into major issues and "babysit" clients, creating many pointless tasks. Management often take away support staff/assistants during huge projects with tight deadlines.
