      EY Internship.

      Intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good opportunties for travel, very flexible company, good group of people to work with. the work is varied and no working day can be considered the same. As an intern i was made very much part of the team and given assignments to complete as expected by an associate. Moreover, i was exposed to clients and client meetings from the outset and this also gave a great insight into what the professional services firm is all about and what what one may be expected to complete.

      Cons

      long hours are expected from junior staff with you being expected to travel alot to clients who may be closely situated or not so closely.

      Satisfied employee touts global mobility opportunities.

      Audit manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As a large global organization there are plenty of global opportunities for high performers. Mobility is not only available, it is encouraged by upper management.

      Cons

      They are a big four accounting firm. Pay is not as good for non-partners as it would be to work in private industry. Hours can be tough at times and turnover is high.

      Ernst & Young - great experience but poor tone at the top

      Senior associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for Ernst & Young, you get a phenomenal amount of experience. Working in Public Accounting you have the opportunity to advance your carreer at a greater pace as compared to industry. Working for one of the "Big 4" you have the opportunity to work on both small and large engagements. As an auditor you need both types of experience. Working on a Large engagement you are exposed to the operations of a large organization and specialize in one specific area. Working on a small engagement you get exposed to more intricate issues that allow you to research the answers to. Smaller engagements also show you the big picture and you work and assist in many areas. E&Y allows you to gain both types of experience. Additionally the yearly trainings that you receive are very thorough and cover the issues and topics that are essential for growth to the next level.

      Cons

      My experience at E&Y has been that the tone at the top is highly unrealistic. You go in with the expectation that you will be working long hours with your team in order to meet harsh deadlines, however management loses touch with reality and creates unrealistic expectations for the staff and senior on the engagement. When concerns about staffing and deadlines arise, typically these concerns are brushed asside due to pressures of meeting the budgets that managment has set in place. Working in such a high-stess environment puts pressure ont he entire team to meat budgets and decreases morale on the team.
