      Its not fair, but hell neither is life. Do it for the stamp.

      Pros

      It is a globally recognised name. It is hard to think of any other reason.

      Cons

      As the organisation has grown, it has become far too bureaucratic. Decisions are made based on 'systems and processes' rather than gut feel. It is not a particulary exciting or dynamic workplace. There is little actual respect for work-life balance. The phrase is used a lot by senior management, but it is more parroting it than meaning it. You do well at Ernst & Young only if you are a hihgly self driven person and do not need constant encouragement or support.

      A good place to gain valuable work experience and that about it!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ernst & Young is probably the best place to start of if your coming straight out of college.There is generally high proffessionalism in the way work is done.The workforce is mainly made up of young energetic people and its very excititing to work in such an environment.

      Cons

      Generally salaries and work benefits are on the low side.Employees do not generally have an idea of how the firm has done financially and how this translates to their sallaries. Employees are generally not aware what standards are used for compensation and how they are arived at ,thus employees in the US could be earning 100 times more than employees in Africa but revenues created may not necessarilly be 100 times more than those created in Africa.

      E&Y - hard workers will be happy (and rewarded, provided you put your hand up and ask).

      Pros

      Ernst and Young truly makes an investment in the technical and soft skills of its people through EYU and other learning and development opportunities. The growth and success of the tax practice provides opportunities for mobility and advancement for motivated performers.

      Cons

      Quality of junior staff varies widely and can be a crap shoot. Compensation is less competitive for attorneys who could be working at law firms for more in salary (and much larger bonuses).
