Pros

There are no PRO's in the company.

Cons

This company treats Indian employees as nothing more than cheap offshore labor. There is zero respect for talent, experience, or contribution. Leadership’s recent visit to the Mumbai office was a calculated manipulation exercise, not a genuine attempt to improve anything. Management deliberately conducted one-on-one meetings to extract information, build false trust, and create expectations they had no intention of honoring. They later claimed employees were only “a penny behind the market,” which is either gross incompetence or a deliberate lie. Using that excuse, they carried out a fake “market correction” that amounted to nothing more than rounding off salaries by an insignificant amount. This was a dirty, deceptive tactic meant to silence employees while trying to improve their image.It insults basic intelligence and shows how little management thinks of its Indian workforce. Promises were made openly and then broken without accountability or transparency. The leadership lacks integrity, ethics, and credibility. Morale is low because employees now clearly see the pattern: listen, pretend, extract value, and do nothing. If exploitation wrapped in corporate language is your idea of culture, then this company is consistent — but it is absolutely not a place for professionals who expect fairness or honesty

Thank you for sharing this, and congratulations on completing your internship with us. Hearing that it was a strong learning experience is exactly what we hope for. We put real thought into how we structure our intern program because we believe that early-career opportunities should be meaningful, not just task lists and coffee runs. We want every intern to leave with skills, relationships and a clearer sense of where they want to take their career. We're glad that came through for you, and we wish you well in what comes next.

Thank you for sharing your review, and for recommending CSH to others. We're glad the team has felt welcoming and that the experience hasn't been overwhelming. That matters to us, especially early in someone's career. We hear you on the hours. Tax season in public accounting has real peaks, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our Anytime Anywhere flexible work policy is designed to give associates and interns more control over how and where they work, and we actively look at how workload is distributed across the team. There's always room to improve, and feedback like yours helps us do that. If there's anything specific you'd like to share, your supervisor or an HR Business Partner is always a good resource. We're glad you're here and hope you continue to grow with us!
