Pros
Good reputation, good clients, interesting work, opportunities for advancement and promotion, reasonable salary. I have been with E&Y for 5 years and have been very satisfied with the opportunities to get ahead. Good work is rewarded and individuals who go the extra mile are recognised. The area-based structure helps to facilitate knowledge sharing and effective working relationships across borders. Secondments and international postings are also available.
Cons
Within smaller teams some people are sometimes allowed to dominate the team. With certain personalities this becomes a problem. I have worked in two teams (in different countries) where a particular person has been allowed to terrorise the team. This, however, is not a usual problem and will only really arise where there are small teams such as in transfer pricing or the more specialised service areas.
