There is nothing to like about this firm.

Dislikes

Horrible work culture. Zero professional growth and zero work life balance. Manager and above level employees in statutory audit division behave unprofessionally. Laptops are very old and slow. No consideration or thoughtfulness in work allocation in statutory audit division. Silly ques tions are asked during reviews. Sometimes they will even make you do the preparer role which is to be done by the client and then client checks your work (reverse audit). Pay is also very less as retention money is deducted from salary. Do not make a mistake of joining their statutory audit division....Read More

Cannot think of anything worth liking.

Dislikes

1) Old and slow laptops. 2) No work life balance. 3) Lot of office politics and favoritism. 4) No place to sit in office. 5) No variable pay. 6) Retention money is deducted from fixed salary. 7) Few managers, senior managers and associate directors who lack technical skills and focus o nly on unnecessary and irrelevant details. 8) Staff shortage at executive and intern level. So they treat a few assistant managers like interns during area allocation. 9) Notice period is of 3 months even during probation....Read More

Nothing.

Dislikes

No work life balance. For the managers work from home means work 24/7. No proper planning of staff and audit. Pay is very less and some portion of salary is retained by the firm which is not paid if you leave before the annual payment cycle. Certain seniors are not technically strong an d only focus of unnecessary and immaterial details in audit. Out of pocket expenses are never reimbursed on time. Laptops are not that great. Audit software used by the firm is too slow and has many bugs. Think twice before you join them in statutory audit and consider other options as work pressure is equivalent to any BIG4 firm....Read More

Lot of office politics. Old employees play a lot of politics with new joinees. Retention money is deducted from fixed pay. Few manager and above level employees lack adequate knowledge to conduct audit. No work life balance. If you sit till late and on public holidays you will be consi dered to be working. if you ask for one saturday or sunday off during peak season you will be asked to mark a leave. HR policies are also not constant. Clients are not that great. Pay is not comparable to industry standards. Think thrice before joining here and consider other options....Read More

There is absolutely nothing one can like here. Highly not recommended to join them specially if you are AM level and due for the next level. Partner will fool you that you will be promoted and your pay will be increased after 3/6 months. I would advice not to believe in them as they will simply not do so as there is already overstaff ing at manager and above levels here. They are just luring you into entering the firm as they do not have enough staff at executive and below levels....Read More

Dislikes

1) NO CARE FOR DESIGNATION - Designation does not matter to them while allocating work among team members. For them all employees below manager level are at par with one another despite how many years of experience you carry with yourself. 2) STAFF CRUNCH - There is severe crunch of resources so they just hire people and allocate wh atever work they wish to without giving a thought and consideration to the designation of that person and his future professional growth. 3) LESS TAKE HOME SALARY - Certain portion of your salary is deducted and retained just to make you wait till the month of May every year so that they can finish their audit season.. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> 4) NO WORK LIFE BALANCE - There is no work life balance</mark>. They will make you work on many public holidays and there is unnecessary late sitting 5) POOR IT INFRA - Laptops given to employees are in very poor condition. 6) TECHNICALLY UNSOUND MANAGERS - Some of their managers/senior managers and associate director level staff do not possess the required technical knowledge and updation. They ask you stupid questions during reviews. 7) NO PROPER HR POLICIES - No proper HR policies in place for employees. Policies keep changing to suit their needs. 8) NO PROFESSIONAL GROWTH - There is overstaffing at manager and above levels and there is no scope for growth here....Read More
