Pros

Rapid growth, plenty of personal opportunities, and retains a great day to day operating culture.

Cons

Growing pains - some hiring "errors", some tough projects (goes with the territory).

Pros

The firm is pretty good when it comes to holidays and additional time off, I would also say the pay is OK (though no more than this)

Cons

Main problems are the highly political atmosphere and the way staff are appraised. Your output and client satisfaction have very little to do with career progression and it is very much about who you know and are glad-handing (so to speak). Opportunities seem very limited as well so although EY are very good at selling themselves and looking for particular skills during recruitment, they fall down when it comes to actually winning the work. Too many skilled people doing mundane "bums on seats" work and then leaving as a result. It's starting to acquire a rather unpleasant culture of bullying on certain accounts as well. I'm not impressed and won't be here much longer as a result.

Pros

Great career path, best place to launch your career. They respect and value each individuals and it truly feel like a family here. The compensation package is very competitive, not bad. Great crowd!

Cons

You will be ask to put into your time during busy season, but this is true for all public accounting firms.
