Pros

The best reasons to work the EY are the people and the clients. Because you work for such a large firm, you have a chance to work on some of the biggest and best clients in the industry. The other great part about the firm is the people. The people at EY are some of the most dynamic and interesting individuals that I have worked with. In a lot of cases, individuals will have a wide array of backgrounds that bring different perspectives to the workplace. In a lot of firms such as EY, employees with just have accounting or finance degrees. I have noticed that the dynamic nature of EY is fed by the people with many different backgrounds.

Cons

The one major downside to working at EY is that due to the teaming aspect of the culture, it can be hard to stand out if you are at a lower level. I think that teaming is extremely important in the advisory field, however there are instances where it can hold back progress career-wise. Also, there is a lack of streamlined and relevant communications from leadership. Due to the fact that EY is a private partnership, there is little firm-wide discussion about financial results or general changes to leadership mentality. I think that this will be changing as the calls for transparency get louder and louder.

Pros

Impact on resume, good expereince, Big 4 recognized globally. Good exposure to a number of industries, again it depends on the area. Also, one has the opportunity to travel and participate in global exchange programs.

Cons

Although a global firm, still very disconnected by area. In my last year with the firm, the were 3 name changes to my group, and a great deal of uncertainity of then new identity of the group and how to go to market. Many times upper management, at least in my office/area reacted before fully assessing the situation. Performers are at times overlooked, many times its all about clicks in offices.
