Endless stress, outdated processes, and no real work-life balance

Audit senior associate

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The name looks decent on a resume.

Cons

They pile on work without a second thought, leaving audit associates drowning in unrealistic expectations. The processes are outdated, the deadlines are brutal, and any attempt to suggest improvements is ignored. It's exhausting, and the work-life balance they claim to have is a complete joke. The only way to survive is to accept being overworked and under appreciated.

Business outlook

Pros

Great exposure to clients from various industries

Cons

The firm is putting a lot of effort on marketing, creating a fancy image of the work place, but it is absolutely fake. The firm do not look after employees, do not provide enough training and expect you to know everything when you start and you will be let go if you do not meet their high expectation with very low pay. Employees are not looked after thus turnover is extremely high, the firm is constantly hiring because employees are constantly leaving, a big joke. A few colleagues I knew were looking to leave.
