Pros

Opportunity to work towards a professional qualification (CA, ACCA etc). Invaluable to have Big 4 on your CV. Exposure to different clients and industries.

Cons

Long hours, especially during busy season. Low pay (less than £20k) is not enough. Low morale. Being expected to bend over backwards and work extremely hard in order to line the partners' pockets with little thanks or reward.

Pros

- Variety and diverse of projects that you will be engaged in. You will learn A LOT. Every time a new project with a new experience. - Defined methodologies and approaches for each service. - Working with leading companies in the market, which adds a high value to your CV. - Working at Ernst & Young by itself adds you value in the market.

Cons

- The management does not give any attention to employees training and development. - No work-life balance. They treat you like a slave, over the weekend, without any appreciation. - Compensation is lower than market rate, and no clear salary ranges for each position. - No counseling is provided to the employees on their performance. - Handling of Admin issues are very poor. - They send you to a client as an SME, while you are doing this for the first time. - The defined approaches are rarely being followed at the offices. - The ideas and thoughts of the management are being called "best practice".

Pros

Good working environment, benefits. People act in a professional manner, and most of the time there is work/life balance. Good location. More budget to take care of their employees. Well-established business processes.

Cons

Speed of advancement slower than a smaller company. Annual salary increase can be small. On average the salary is less than working in an IT company. Some employees with seniority may not fit their current job anymore but unspoken policy would help them stay.
