Pros

I'm love technology and EY makes excellent use of it. They stay current and provide a stable, easy to use infrastructure to get the job done. EY provides excellent benefits and time off. I love the 4 day weekends. I can honestly say that my management is flexible and understanding when you need them to be.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Will work you like a dog. The performance management process is brutal. You have to write goals, then before you know it, your midyear is due...what wait...Annual is right around the corner. At last, time to rest, oh wait, your goals are due. Like I said Brutal!

Pros

Ernst & Young name lends credibility to your CV Generally very decent and friendly people to work with

Cons

Very poor communication from Executive Team (UK) Feedback and performance management processes hugely flawed Poor reward, recognition and retention of staff - high turnover of employees - massive talent drain, especially amongst juniors and trainees - lack of incentive/promotion or meaningful opportunities means that anyone vaguely ambitious has to look externally for career progression

Pros

To gain experience and increase your marketability. I was able to encounter a variety of auditing clients, from large publically traded to private companies with around $200 million in annual revenue, as well as a diverse blend of accounting issues. I was always given as many responsibilities as I could handle and was working with senior management almost from day one.

Cons

Low pay and terrible work/life balance. I recently went 6 weeks without a day off--and it wasn't busy season. While that is unusual, you are expected to meet deadlines and working very late nights is common.
