Pros

Nothing at all, I tried very hard to think trust me bro

Cons

1. There's no company benefits at all. If we ask for it, the management will suggest to deduct your salary for benefits. Eg there are no panel clinics for an audit firm, which is the minimum medical benefits that an employer should provide. I've worked in much smaller firms with better benefits. 2. Worst place for the juniors to start their careers, because zero guidance or support provided. And they're expected to deliver jobs at a senior level with zero experience. 3. If you think your dept HOD is bad, all the other dept HODs are equally useless coz they're under the same umbrella lead by the CEO. 4. The most cheapskate company you will ever join. Why? Coz the directors will ask you to split bills with juniors even while eating street food which costs $2. Unbelievable. 5. There won't be any differences between junior and manager roles; managers are expected to do juniors roles and vice versa, and managers are also expected to carry out director and firm partner roles without the appropriate salary. Underpaid, overworked, paid like a junior. 6. Turnover in the company is extremely high, which shows the management failed to do root cause analysis because root cause of this high turnover is the management failure itself. 7. The usual work tenure of a permanent staff in general audit firm is 3-4 years. But in PKF, you can never see anyone stay more than a year. The only long term permanent staffers are the admins, or those gaslit to stay there. 8. Company trips guised as trainings comes with an employment bond, failing which you're required to pay the firm. Nothing is free. 9. Gone were the days of free lunch in this firm. After covid, they became insufferable. 10. People leave within 24 hours and don't mind paying up the notice. That's how bad they want to leave. Jeez.

Pros

I enjoy working at PKF. It is a great company where I feel like an actual person as opposed to a number. They have helped me in my career and I feel like I have learned a great deal of information. I love that I get to see a project all the way through and feel like I have learned a lot in just the two years I have been here.

Cons

My only complaint is that some of the management team I work with can procrastinate on projects, but that's really just a few people and overall I really enjoy all the teams I work with.
