      No work-life balance

      Pros

      Ernst & Young is one of the top 4 accounting firms, so it's a good resume builder. I've had a lot of friends who were able to move onto great jobs because of their experience at E&Y. E&Y is also very big on training and spends a lot of time every year teaching its employees the concepts behind a lot of the work. They're also very supportive of test-taking like for the CPA.

      Cons

      There is no work-life balance. During busy season, I am here nearly 70 hrs or more a week. You are expected to come in at least one day of the weekend, if not both. I also feel like the work gets monotonous after awhile. Half of the time, I'm not using my brain. There is also a very big sense of hierarchy here.

      Solid firm, expects a lot from its employees but gives a lot also - good place to start.

      Pros

      Training and education at Ernst and Young are the best in the industry. There is a good support system to help new hires find their fit with the company and have their questions answered. Training at the beginning of every position seems to be extensive and helpful. E&Y strongly encourages and supports (monetarily) the attainment of industry required certifications (i.e. the CPA certification) and continuing education. Ernst and Young also has a very solid benefit package, including a matched 401k, health insurance including vision insurance (dental is available for an extra cost). After two years, all staff are given the opportunity to direct lower-level staff. After 5 years, employees are eligible to apply for an overseas rotation if desired.

      Cons

      Extensive working hours. Although flexibility and work life balance is touted, in reality a newly hired staff experiences little flexibility unless they fight for it, which is generally not a good idea.
