In your opinion, which one of the big four accounting firm is best to work for, for fresh grads? Which one can learn more things and have good working environment and culture?
FYI, i am planning to join the audit line and plan to work in big four Penang.
Anyone can contribute some useful tips or advise on which firm to join?

QUOTE(amandawwp @ Sep 14 2007, 11:47 PM) i have fren (in ur line oso) telling me, to learn more is not to start in big four or watever big big company....should start in a small firm cos the workload is more, u will learn li tat...so when u move to bigger companies a lot of things u already know lor. u mean small company in penang or kl? Cuz some say penang small small company is really small n cant learn much compared to kl's...plus small companies dun reali have a complete procedure for u to follow...so u wouldn't know what you're doing is right or wrong...while for the big companies, they actually have written procedures which tells u what to do step-by-step...this is what i heard from my dad lar...he is against me starting working in small companies...hehe I also got alot of feedbacks from other ppl stating PWC's working culture is not that good...alot of politics, employ pretty girls who dunno how to work...etc...

QUOTE(yama @ Sep 15 2007, 03:16 PM) So, where is the location you preferred? Penang or KL? No doubt that working in big 4 is much better than in small firm. Not to say that working in big 4 can't learn much thing. But as fresh grad, do you think you can handle things like planning and discussion with management and also giving your opinion to the clients professionally? So to start off at small firm or big firm, it makes no different in the learning process. In big companies, not only big 4, in those medium firm as well, you can learn as much thing as you want. Big firm not only have a lot of clients which their clients are mostly MNC and PLC, but also the benefits for your future career advancement. I prefer to work in Penang...KL is too complicated for me, for now.. Will there be trainings provided in all the big four companies? I mean do we have to attend their trainning classes before we actually start auditing a company?
