      Pros

      The only pro is being able to expense overtime meals and transportation to your corporate card.

      Cons

      This company consistently violates HR policies and some labor laws. Employees are treated unfairly (violating company policy) just so the partners can get the work done for their clients. There is almost NO mentoring or coaching. Having someone above you to go to with issues or questions is non-existent. The use of resources in India made Staff and Seniors jobs five times more difficult. Also, almsot all partners and senior managers ask their subordinates to not report all the time they charge to a client to keep their metrics where they want them to be.

      Pros

      The opportunities for you to dig deeper into your passions and talents allows you to impact clients, teams, and internal go-to-market solutions. The people culture is fantastic: very polite, kind and decent. EY encourages leaders to 'lead'. You also can teach classes - which is another way of mentoring and coaching others.

      Cons

      I work in the FSO (Financial Services Organization) division and as a Senior Manager, EY has an 'up and out' policy. This means if you are not deemed worthy of promotion to Director, Executive Director or Partner/Principal, you will be guided to consider working for a client (if a good position exists for you) or you are free to seek your fortunes elsewhere. The road to promotion takes a few years, and you need a senior partner/principal to sponsor you - meaning he/she has to have deep relationships and credibility. Remember that you are competing with lots of other senior managers. The reality is that there are only so many SM's a partner/principal can sponsor, so it is very competitive. Your earnings need to be significant ( a few $million every year) every year. And you need to be very well utilized (charging clients) as well as plugged into many internal initiatives.

      Pros

      EY name is the only pro I can think of. Take a year or so and RUN.

      Cons

      Terrible management style, poor training, and little to no opportunity for overtime depending what project you are on. Turnover rate is similar to that of a fast-food restaurant. Low base compared to the rest of the competition. I have been at EY for over a year and I have friends who are just now graduating from college from same school, same degree, and are starting at a much higher salary than what is offered at the EY Test Practice. Salary and raises are flat and not negotiable. It's not worth it to work here. Please take my advice and apply elsewhere.
