      Pros

      You have installation privileges on your laptop.

      Cons

      I am awake at 5:30am and cannot go back to sleep because I am so dreading the day ahead. In 8 months with the firm I have worked on nothing that I was brought on to do, nor anything that has anything to do with my existing skills. I got lowballed on an offer as an experienced hire with 4.5 years of experience - and brought in at far too junior a level - and I took it anyways because it was a chance to build experience in certain risk areas. But I've done none of that. Somehow entirely process-driven yet utterly terrible in outcome, EY prevails, but I don't know how. The federal side is bad enough, but there seems to be no way to pick up commercial work, even on the side and if it's something you'd be good at, and so you end up on an entirely irrelevant project just trying to stay billable so...what? You pass the next performance review? Not that there's much point to achieving high marks if the only reward is...continuing to work on entirely irrelevant projects. This is an impersonal, unsupportive, unwieldy organization with terrible experience managers and no support, particularly at low levels. If you think you'll be able to toil in something you appreciate, give it a whirl. Otherwise, if you value yourself as a person, skip it.

      Pros

      One of the best experiences was to encounter a very diversified group of people. There's a warm friendly attitude among employees who are very intelligent.

      Cons

      Management is horrible on the EA team in Dallas. The job description is deceptive. You are not an EA but in fact a call center. You don't get the experience of being empowered in your career. Management puts restraints on you and discourages promotion outside of your current role. Management style of this group is micromanaging. They are very non-personable. In my honest opinion I regret the decision to work there as an EA. This group has a high turn over rate because you feel devalued in this role. If you are looking for a more traditional style EA role where you have decision-making, empowerment, growth, and team involvement don't work here.

      Not a good place for experienced hires

      Pros

      Offer flexible schedule, so you can work from home or take time off to run some personal errands. Offer excellent annual training for each different level. Very laid back environment compared to other big four accounting firms. You can easily find employees who are not meeting the firm's expectation.

      Cons

      EY is not a friendly place for experienced hires. The firm is not so welcoming and you are pretty much on your own to survive. Long term employees are very cohesive and do not welcome new comers. They can ignore you right in front of your face. The firm is not organized as a whole, and things can fall through cracks pretty easily. No job specific training was provided and new experienced hire training was provided four months after I was hired. Experienced hires will get low budget but demanding projects nobody wants. The year end review is not based on your performance. It's not about how well you performed but it's all about who you know. You are asked to perform one level up without additional compensation. It's almost like they do not want to promote you but expect you to work harder. The firm has groups such as DSG, GCR, BST and PCS. It doesn't mean anything. There is no special group. You just get assigned to whatever. If you want to focus on one specific area, you are out of luck.
