Pros

Definitely the people. The senior management has been at the firm for many years and understand what younger professional go through when they make a career decision to join EY. When EY preaches about allowing flexibility to the employees they really mean it and executives allow individuals to take charge of their careers and make a work/life balance a real possibility. EY employees are used to the work hard play hard lifestyle and go out of their way to create inclusive environments. Executives take the notice of the newer hires and help to progress the careers of the new hires in order to retain employees. The non-monetary benefits are really good once professionals are farther along in their lives, they lack for young and single individuals.

Cons

The partnership structure of the firm means that the other employees suffer when it comes to compensation. A high turnover rate is created at lower levels because the compensation compared to similar jobs elsewhere is drastically lower and that affects the quality of work performed. At times the type of work can become very repititive for individuals and EY personnel don't always take the time to notice this and help the individual have a change of pace. Professionals can find themselves pigeonholed into a type of specialty they are not interested in and feel the only way to get the change they desire is by leaving the firm.

Pros

(1) Global network that I could establish internally. There are so many strong individuals / professionals all over the world. I believe that E&Y has a strong culture that is shared by people across countries and generations. (2) If we perform well, then the leadership would recognize potential and challenge / push us further to grow personally and professionally.

Cons

It depends on which country / area I'd work - but at least in US, I think our compensation is as competitive as it should be. Sure, there are good possibilities to advance career in private sectors after certain years of experince with the firm, but the fact that there is no bonus really has to do with high turn over. I wish there would be perhaps the highest of 20% bonus at year end - that may give incentives and make our work force more competitive / motivated to be better and stay with the firm.
