Pros

No pros unless you are an actuary on the life side. Though working with Kailash and Heena will always be a pleasure

Cons

Horrible increments: barely any increment in salary over 2+ years Poor leave structure: you get 10 hours credited every month end to use. They say they encourage you to take leaves if needed but you don't really get to under the new structure No work life balance: they make you work over time and on the weekends and say they will compensate you but they don't No promotions: promotions are dependent on your utilisation percentage but more often than not the project is not profitable and you don't get all the hours you worked. Which leads to low utilisation Toxic work environment: obvious favouritism among the senior management

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.
