Pros

- Good as stepping stone of career you want to build. - Some partners are approachable and friendly even if you are from different department. - The company tried to accommodate requests for benefits of employees.

Cons

- Excessive bureaucracy in IT Services Department. - Some of the leaders in the IT Services display ethical behaviours that contribute to workplace disruption and impede efforts to foster a culture of psychological safety. - Sky high workload for team members. - Some directors withhold necessary or critical project information, which can negatively impact project outcomes and contribute to project failure, Then swoops in as a hero for “fixing” the drowning project. - It’s a “stay but be silent” or “complain and leave” kind of culture in IT Services. - Real skilled and competitive employees are bullied in IT Services.

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.
