Demerits :
1. Limited Exposure to making a Balance sheet and Audit Exposure.

2. Seniors that has been here are not able to file return, work on tds matter or other company matter till now. they are only Involved in FORMATTING BALANCESHEET of the Previous year to current year,

3. If Ask for a Holiday.. Rest is History..

this could be story of any intern in any firm (irrespective of the size) in first six months of articleship.

So, before making any decision, consider the following:

1. does the current firm have enough variety to offer you? Normally small firms have limited diversity

2. what other options you have? different work profile? (even in Big4 tax teams, intern often work on TDS in first 6-7 months)

3. If the point 2 of your query is correct, then you should look for a transfer.
