I have an upcoming interview with King (Candy Crush developer), working with their in-house advertising business. Does anyone have any experience working with or for them? I've heard some horror stories in general about a toxic work culture, but wondered if it was endemic in their advertising team too. Thank you....

Everyone’s tolerance is different. Sometimes it’s a toxic boss as opposed to a toxic culture. I’ve worked at WLB environments that were toxic as well.

Dumb questions but genuinely curious:

1) Let’s say you’re a recent undergrad candidate with no internships on your resume. What’s the deciding factor that you’re qualified for Advisory vs Tax vs Audit? Is it school, gpa, etc.?

2) Why can’t you switch from Tax to another SL without having to pull strings? I understand that there’s a difference in tax vs book experience but why does the Accounting field gatekeep other SLs? It’s not like we’re incapable of learning other areas.
