It's a Big 4

Pros

Working with any of the Big 4 firms, you know what you can expect, especially when starting as a Staff 1 - lots of data entry, ticking-and-tying, etc. E&Y stresses its focus on the people as its advantage over the other accounting firms, but they'll say the same thing over at any of the other Big 4's. Career advancement is well-defined and structured.

Cons

It's a big firm, so it's easy to get lost in the cracks. During busy season, expect long hours and little compensation, but this is an industry standard. Recent layoffs hurt morale but are arguably necessary with tough economy.

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
