Cons
Toxic company culture Layoffs are eminent. Do not get too comfortable Your success depends on whether the team embraces you. If you do not look like or speak like them, you might feel isolated and excluded Team member can be rude Very little training once assigned to engagement and they can get frustrated when you don’t understand something Quarterly performance reviews, so your performance is tracked. Their expectations are unreasonably high given that you are fresh, coming in with virtually no experience in the audit profession.
