Pros

- Good as stepping stone of career you want to build. - Some partners are approachable and friendly even if you are from different department. - The company tried to accommodate requests for benefits of employees.

Cons

- Excessive bureaucracy in IT Services Department. - Some of the leaders in the IT Services display ethical behaviours that contribute to workplace disruption and impede efforts to foster a culture of psychological safety. - Sky high workload for team members. - Some directors withhold necessary or critical project information, which can negatively impact project outcomes and contribute to project failure, Then swoops in as a hero for “fixing” the drowning project. - It’s a “stay but be silent” or “complain and leave” kind of culture in IT Services. - Real skilled and competitive employees are bullied in IT Services.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
