Pros

A secure, generally supportive work environment, where I personally have found opportunities to mould and progress my role quickly.

Cons

-Support staff in general are woefully under-appreciated -Management/Partners often expect support staff to pull out the stops and spend their personal time on projects to compensate for poor time management elsewhere (for no overtime or bonus, but Time Off in Lieu) - Large scale procedural change is often poorly communicated to the business as a whole -Management/Partners are prone to letting personal preference override best practice or global company guidelines, especially when pursuing large projects against a tight deadline

Pros

Lots of opportunities for growth; good brand name for your career; lots of responsibility

Cons

Be sure that you are working there because you want to get ahead because the culture is a performance culture and you need to come to work every day. Be aware that the company will use the carrot-and-stick method of leadership so you can expect to have your team struggle to come up with negative feedback whether or not they actually feel that way. Personally, I hated that.

Pros

EY is a great jump start for your career. You are automatically associated with one of the leading professional organizations in the world. Their culture is very professional. After two years, you are already in a supervisory role and have a lot more interaction with the engagement executives. There are a lot of opportunities for growth, learning, advancement, and exposure. You can make a great and rewarding career within the firm, and it will prepare you for a great career outside of the firm as well.

Cons

The hours can be brutal. Overtime is built into their business model, and the more hours you put in, the better for the firm. Work life balance is discussed and an effort is made to promote it, but no work life balance is really allowed from January to April. And if you have a client with a fiscal year end other than a calendar year end, you can have multiple "busy season" (aka no life outside of work).
