Can anyone share their working experience at Mazars and Crowe Horwath?
I just got offer from both of the audit firms as an audit associate.
Would like to know how the firms are.
Thank you

Go crowe horwath then we can go lunch together

Worked at Mazars SG before.

All firms are the same. It boils down to the engagement and your luck.

Haha thanks for that
Is really bit nervous of going into a new environment.
You are working there? Which department you are in?
How is Crowe Horwath working environment?

Oic.. I got the offer from Mazars KL.. What firm are you at now?

Ultimately they are the same, somemore they are in the same tier. It all depends who offer better salary and distance travelling to work only

both same.

which one give better salary & benefits.

pick the higher one leh

Now in Big 4.

Like they said, take whichever offer is higher and work for few years to get exp and then jump ship.

Anyone know about how is Mazars and Crowe Horwath benefits?
Especially on ACCA exam leaves and study leave

I have a friend working in ch. he had like 2-3 weeks of study leave for his CPA exams. Benefits wise he said traveling claims more than the average firms but no OT claim but I think this is normal for large tier firms. Lucky you I applied for ch as audit associate few months ago but I was rejected because they didn't want fresh grads at that time.

Just join big 4 la

Crowe pays better and the increment is larger.

Crowe is better.

hmm ya I got it quite fast
You are fresh grad ? Good luck on your career:)

Hahah i have only experience from small audit firm
I worry they might not take me

Ok thanks for your advice

Ok thanks for your advice

I can tell you for a fact that EY has hired people small small audit firms before.

You'll never know unless you try.

I was from Mazars KL . The culture at there is good.

both are good,
but horwath pay more i believe, not much tho.

Mazars have big client as well , UOA , ekovest, ppb group ( owned GSC) to name a few.

No idea abt horwath, but pretty sure horwath have bigger audit team than mazars

Sorry for the late reply.
I got their reply on the 2nd day after I applied.
There will be phone interview first and then only they call u up for interview after you been selected. They will tell you the process will be around 1 week. I got their call within that period.
No any technical questions for both firm. Is just they wanted to understand about you.
Mazars interview will be easier than CH.
You will get this detail stated in their email to u

I chose CH
How your interview?

Thanks for your advice
The first impression I got from Mazars was good also
Interviewer is really a nice lady
Do you mind to share about the level of audit department post in Mazars?

Is it AA1>AA2>SA1>SA2 and so on?

Ok thanks for your advice
Will think about it
You are from EY?

Anyone can advice me on this:
Is that different group will have different peak period?

I was.. until a few days ago hahah. My peak was basically the whole year. Dec year end, March year end, June year end, Oct year end, repeat.

Oh, I see

I sent my resume to Mazars two weeks ago, but until now still do not have reply from them
Not sure whether is due to no vacancy available for audit associate or
Maybe I should call them to follow up?

So, how your work life in CH? Do you mind telling me their culture/environment there?

And thanks for your reply

AA1 AA2 S1 S2 S3 ( am equivalent) then M1 M2 M3

Hahah.. Why resigned?

You can call them to follow up.
Mazars bit slow in replying that :/

Hahah.. Not sure how my working life will be in CH.
Start soon. Haven't yet X)
I heard from others that the culture is quite ok
I am also worry about that
So how your interview ? Got your job yet?

Oic you working at Mazars? Thanks for your info

Anyone know how to reach Crowe Horwath by LRT?
And is there season parking pass at Crowe Horwath?

Haha.. I see..when will you start? this month?

Just finished my ACCA exam last week. So, will start applying jobs from now.
But not sure there is still any vacancy for audit associate position at mid size firm since now is already June.
I scared I am too late to apply for a job

The Mazars still not calling me yet, I will call them to follow up later because last few weeks busy preparing my ACCA exam.

May I know Crowe Horwath interview is one to one interview or group interview?

I am so sorry for the late reply
Mazars is slow in reply. You need to call them and follow up.
CH is individual interview.

How your job right now? Where are you working at?

I had called Mazars, they did not have vacancy for audit position currently.

CH, did not hear any news, I guess either I did not meet their requirement or maybe they do not have vacancy..
I guess maybe because the peak period is going to end soon, so firm do not want to hire people.

Since you are working at CH right now, is it true that audit associate position already full?

Because recently I keep searching for job, most of audit firm want to hire senior position only

So, now I switch to look for job in commercial or shared services centre.

hey guys, would like to ask is anyone out there tried applying Crowe horwath? i just got a phone call from them i think it lasted about 10 minutes plus, not sure whether am i shortlisted? would like to know will they straight offer you on interview when they called you or you need wait fews days for their call or email? hoping someone will replied me thanks!
