Pros

Nice place to meet lots of nice young people It is certified for CPA/CFA experience and they pay for your exam fee if you pass Lots of occasions for free food/drinks when in the office Fun summer/Christmas parties

Cons

Your experience will depend on your team. Generally they only care about the bottom line. They try to squeeze as much from you with minimum pay. Lots of pressure and OT. They put in lots of process to make promotions more fair, like monthly one on one with your manager. But these meetings does nothing. They never give me any constructive feedback even when I asked. Ultimately promotion is given to the person they favor. And they were starting to use time tracking system to monitor your every move which is humiliating. The work gets repetitive after a while and there's not much room for growth. All the overworking, repetitive work, low pay and no recognition really starts to affect my mental health after few years. Which explains the high turnover. It's a good entry level job if you want to get CPA/CFA experience. But get your experience and run.

Thank you for your review. We agree that our culture fosters a sense of camaraderie amongst colleagues. It is not a secret that we love to hire recent graduates and believe that we are great place for employees to start their career. Being accredited with the CPA makes it easy for employees to get their hours for their designation. Our benefit and training opportunities are very well received by our employees on top of many other perks that we provide. We recognize that our industry is one where there are times that require overtime. We try to balance this with policies and practices that promote and support health and wellbeing. We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback so we can understand more about your time with us. Wishing you all the best.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
