Pros

Giving good opportunities to learn basic financial statements especially for people without financial backgrounds. It is also a good starting place to train for client interpersonal skills and how to fit in Chinese business norms. Good step stone into internal audit, corporate accounting, banking, consulting.

Cons

Low compensation and high working hours; limited learning after 1~2 years as work becomes redundant. Culture within the firm is very hierarchical; it is difficult for expatriates to work in the environment.

Pros

Pros may vary depending on your manager and team. Unfortunately, my experience was consistently negative, and moving on to another opportunity was the right decision for me.

Cons

Extremely challenging and one of the most difficult professional experiences I have had. My experience was heavily influenced by leadership, communication, and workplace culture. I experienced communication that felt personal rather than constructive, and after raising concerns through the appropriate channels, I did not observe meaningful follow-up. I believe managers should be selected not only for technical expertise but also for leadership ability, emotional intelligence, and cultural awareness. Compensation also felt below market for the responsibilities expected.
