Pros
It's hard to find pros in a company that never walks the talks. Some dedicated shopping discounts provided by the benefit package. Salary is paid in time. Additional time-off for personal heathcare. I got the chance to meet some good people, delivering good services to clients.
Cons
No team culture; Some people are definitely not dedicated to clients but just to personal affairs; The partner rarely shows up to the client for business development activities; Top management seems interested in getting personal credit instead of helping junior staff's growth; Some managers behave selfishly though their incompetence is self-evident; Managers coming from banks don't have any consultant attitude: they leave at 5 pm, they don't care about their team's work, they waste their time on sport/newspaper websites all day long, they are not respectful of clients. They are aware of their poor job so they flat-out lie in order not to get caught. At the same time, they are protected by their internal sponsors (partners), so if you report their behaviours, nothing will happen. To put it in other words, they are focused in stealing money (very good money, according to their high salaries) from the company. In addition, they don't know how a feedback system works.; Bad recruiting process, as poorly-skilled people is hired with a senior manager rank; Meritocracy is not the most important driver in promotion (with some exceptions); My job was very poor with contents as I had always to do loads of slides with little added value. I was left alone by my manager, with no support on how to lead the project. You don't learn much and career opportunities outside EY might be few if you don't leave as soon as possible. If you stay, you need to hope for promotion, otherwise your career will end up soon and they will try to make you leave. Overtime not paid. No International opportunities in fso advisory service line. Frankly, there is an wide gap between what I was told by the recruiter and what I saw on the job.
