Pros

Many colleagues are professional, supportive, and friendly, which makes teamwork generally pleasant.

Cons

1. Salary increments are minimal and do not reflect the workload or performance. 2. Workload is heavy during peak, with very high KPIs compared to other audit firms. 3. Bonuses are extremely low even when KPIs are achieved, often amounting to only token or piecemeal rewards. 4. No 13th-month salary. 5. Benefits are poor overall: no WFH flexibility, no OT and allowance 6. Management practices are weak, with frequent changes to firm policies that create uncertainty and inconsistency.

Pros

Nice office environment. Got own toilet which quite clean. Short walking distance to eatery.

Cons

1. Salary very low. Compare with other small firm, this one really lowest but workload like big firm. 2. They like hire fresh grad from Meleisia. I think we all knowing the reason. But they never thinking if the fresh grad got enough audit knowledge or not then just hiring only. Later expect them to performing like experienced staff. 3. Senior always got blame. Senior always get say: “Why you not guide junior properly?” But reality senior also overloaded, no time to even breathe, how to guide? They keep hiring fresh grad with limited knowledge, expect senior to train them like full-time teacher. Especially during peak period, all already no energy, still must guide from zero. 4. Need hit around 3x your salary every month but in reality need more than that then only got increment/bonus. Even you exceed, bonus also errr. 5. Assign many job to you at same time, client deadline all bump each. Expect you to handle everything. We not robot ok, only got 1 otak 2 hands leh. Job assigned, must start within 2–3 days or prepare get say, ask you meeting. One month handle many client like buffet. Then they saying can arrange your own fieldwork date with client. Sound flexible? But when you arranging not “soon enough”, they start saying you this and that, ask you change date. Very funny never think we already busy with other cases. You think we don’t want to be fast? Client also no complain, but they more kancheong than client. Scared we no doing job? 6. Pantry also no proper. Food sometime staff putting there but got free water dispenser. 7. Two years bond trap. First few years turnover low because all stuck with bond. Once bond finish, people leave together. Interview say bond can nego. When want really leaving early, suddenly must pay and kena say something bad. 8. Benefits slowly disappear. Last time got wfh, now no more. 9. Fieldwork also no freedom. Go out must clock in/out. Forget one time, prepare get saying again. Boss prefer you back office, scared you play outside no doing job. 10. Boss style. Very experienced, yes. But also liking giving long lecture and 大道理. Sometime feel like attend free motivation talk. 11. Promises vs reality. Say working hard will providing oversea trip. Ending up going into kukup trip. 12. Management always missing. They take leave like ninja, suddenly disappear. 13. OT also wrong, no OT also wrong. Sometime you OT already, still get saying: “Why OT also cannot finish?” But in real got anyone guide? Everything need self-research, self-learn, self-suffer. Logic? OT also cannot save you. Sad. 14. Too many office politics. Some team not good with other team. 15. They always caring more about monthly bill than real audit quality. All must wrap up fast like audit very simple. But sometime client account super messy, reply slow, everything delay. No billing yet, then we getting complaint again. Fast billing = proper work? 16. Cannot fell sick if keep mc will get question why keep sick? The medical allowance very low that it can only cover like 2-3 visit to clinic only.

Pros

1. Good allowance - You can get SGD 8 per OT (MCD: SGD 11 per hour) after you OT during peak period, Still good, atleast they know people need eat. 2. Professional middle to top management - they do saying they will keep thing secretly and just want to know what you are thinking, once you tell them, you are like streaming on channel 8, corona virus not even spread this fast 3. Training opportunities - as long as you join the firm, they provide a huge space for you to growth. (Example: When you going to meeting with client, your superior will let you to talk personally with client’s management/fm, then hide behind like cant even let other people see, i think the baba and mama still good, gorgor really cannot 4. Promise - Management very good in promising. Promise to promote on which month, but cant make it, then PUA some more. 5. Exposure: Not only can learn oh di and a cow skill, you are allow to learn baking skill some more, since you are joining the real tiong bahru bakery, “Top cookies production”, making the promise be happen after 50 years. 6. Human resource management - they hire people for fun, when they feel that people is sufficient/over, they asking the new joiner to leave the firm, if you do not leave they not going to force you, but just PUA you. Then when people are lesser, they start baking cookies. 7. Culture - most of the superior like not professional enough, keep thinking chatgpt is their brain and they have no intention to grow professionally and this company is not really encouraging you to further study. 8. There is water dispenser in the office 9. Remote work - They is no more remote working opportunity (cry baby), but you have the chance to work outside the toilet 10.Immune system training programme - most of the superior dun know why keep coughing without musk, which allow you to challenge yourself and make you stronger 11. Good salary package - like your non current asset, cant move, same like the position. 12. Bonus - I need glasses to see this.. 13. The shoe on the shoe rack smelly like 30 years never wash 14. Please do not look people rate yourself as 5 star anymore, Michelin only got 3 star

Cons

No cons, everything very good, after you join then you know
