Pros

When starting out, you are surrounded by a class of over 100 people your age which makes integrating into your career a more smooth and like-minded process. You will be absolutely floored by how much information you will learn in at this Company. There are many groups within the company that are open to anyone joining, and there are many volunteering opportunities if that is your passion.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business, there are long hours, especially during busy season. Trick here is to curb your expectations and realize what you are getting yourself into. Experience at the firm is very team dependent - if you are on a great team, work is a piece of cake. However, if you are on a team that doesn't quite mesh or has high turnover, it can be more of a stuggle to maintain a level head.

Pros

Looks great on the resume when looking for a new job. Worked at some big name clients and gained a lot industry insight and accounting knowledge.

Cons

Although eating hours is an unwritten rule in public accounting for a lot of people I choose not to do this. I was asked to write off time by a manager and limit my time with but 'get the job done' as they 'did not want a difficult conversation with the partner'. I complained about this, promptly found myself off the client, and had an awful review by said manager. Come year end I was threatened with being fired as a result of poor performance. Unsurprisingly, I was never asked for the corroborating evidence I had to back up my version of events and quit before I was axed. Unfortunately, this site won't allow me to name and shame.

Pros

Some of the Benefits are good. The vision and Mission of the firm is good but is not met.

Cons

Management, always passes the blame. Creates a hostile, oppressive environment. HR reps are no help. Management does NOT like to promote African Americans. Group politics, I can go on... Don't be surprised if there is a whistleblower or EEOC claim filed, or either EY ends up in the media.
