Pros

It is nearly undisputed that public accounting is the best place to start your business career, and E&Y has been recognized over and over as the best of the Big 4. You get the chance to work in several different industries and get exposure to a diverse array of business techniques.

Cons

Work-life balance is poor. You will be paid at about $0.40 on the dollar. The increasing amount of "budget constraints" is getting out of hand. Reimbursing expenses is always more of an effort than it needs to be, and E&Y is constantly making budget cut decisions that just make life for a rank and file worker harder. E&Y has made it clear that it follows competitor trends. EY will be the last of the Big 4 to give you a raise, and if benefits at the other 3 were to decrease, you can expect E&Y to do the same whether they need to or not.

Pros

Recognized brand name, good experience across a broad range of global companies, and a friendly peer base.

Cons

Politics, particularly between partners in developing practices. If you do not have a good working relationship with the partner in charge of your practice it can greatly reduce your opportunities for career progression.

Pros

The work is very Interesting, and every day there is something new to do. We are given lots of responsibility right from the start. There are many resources available within firm, and it is nice to be able to call up other departments to complete tasks. The firm has international recognition- it is know by everyone worldwide. Therefore, I think it's a great place to begin and establish yourself. I could be here for the long term but I'm not very sure. The salary is competitive with other firms but could be better. All in all a very comfortable work environment.

Cons

The work is sometimes too rigid.
