Pros

A decent place to work with a clear progression path if you perform well. Compensation is relatively competitive compared to peers.

Cons

As with almost all accounting firms, work-life balance is a very low priority in the firm. Working during weekends is to be expected.

Pros

People at Ernst & Young are generally collegial and willing to work across practices; this is a matter of importance since most large projects are staffed across practices. Despite its size, EY is a surprisingly entrepreneurial place where even junior level employees are encouraged to sell and claim revenue.

Cons

Promotion is very tenure-based in some divisions of the firm; as such, you will find a diverse cross section of talent at each level.

Pros

The money and benefits Fast track learning Good place to start a career

Cons

Be aware of some skillsets that could go undeveloped such as business analysis and actual hands on with experience with accounting systems Even though they said you have until before your manager level to complete the CPA, they want you to have it NOW The culture is not conducive to people who did not go to college with their managers, if you catch my drift. Its still a good ole boy system. So brush up on your baseball and beer pong skills, and take a trip to Europe. Due to the high work load since the layoffs, your seniors and manager expect you to literally live at the client site. Not good if you need clean clothes to wear to work...
