      Unless you love excel spreadsheets, stay 3-4 years and leave

      Pros

      You gain exposure to a number of industries. Also, you have a slight degree of flexibility in your ability to transfer between offices (although area management will resist). E&Y is a good place to begin a career, or work towards partner if you have no life and enjoy monotonous, boring work.

      Cons

      Offices tend to be very cliquish. As much as management likes to promote a "work/life balance", there is absolutely none. Even if you have no work to do, you are expected to meet your minimum number of hours. The work is extremely tedious and boring. The client doesn't respect you or go out of their way to help you. You represent nothing more to them than additional work that they must do. As you advance through the firm, the normal people will drop out and the only people left will be the tools who are bent on becoming partner.

      Careful with the team leader and office dynamics if you join as an experience hire.

      Pros

      Working for diverse industries and large companies. Inclusiveness is a big thing while recruiting and management takes time to make sure is a priority. There are a lot of humble, sincere and intelligent people. I would say that in tax, it is very important that you are involved in social activities so you can shine among others. Work is typically allocated in a very subjective way (at least in my experience). If you like diverse experience there are programs that rotate you among different service lines but if you join specialized services this is not an option (example, transfer pricing).

      Cons

      If you join as an outsider is very hard to integrate to teams/large engagements. The key thing is who leads the practice and how. Most leaders are very independent but if they really dont give priority to investing on people this might create an atmosphere where career advancement might not be clear. Naturally, in this kind of situations the most favorable are the ones who are close to the leader since they get all the good projects and junior staff get the treatment of golden boys. In this difficult economy the key priority is to be chargeable (at least 80%) and specialize in a particular service or industry. Otherwise, take a hike.

      No work-life balance

      Pros

      Excellent resume builder which will allow you to easily find another job .

      Cons

      Say goodbye to your work/life balance. Expect to give up your saturdays and sundays during busy season, and if you're unlucky, you could be assigned to client with fiscal ye at 3/31, 6/30, and 9/30 also.
