Pros

Relaxed life Service industry type mentality, not taking accountability and ownership of your tasks waiting for somebody else to give you the nudge.

Cons

Useless mid level management in india(mumbai + pune) office who want to hire incompetent people so that they have an excuse to keep the people managers around. You will face a lot of flak if you deliver independently with little supervision as it would mean PM's losing their relevance. You will be given bad reviews in case you ask for some challenging work ( which are there in the US or Zurich office and are done my vendors). Though it has the tag of a big bank but it doesn't operate like one.

Pros

Some good managers. Short hours and high WFH flexibility

Cons

Extremely archaic process with no significant training given. Near complete lack of access to the resources and support available to auditors at other firms. Management and leadership much more concerned with semantics and appearances than audit testing and business control quality. No upwards or lateral mobility whatsoever. Most employees want out and end up having to go to second-rate audit departments at other firms and or take significant demotion to leave.
