Pros

The brand. It may be good for inexperience people as it looks good on your resume. Cannot think about anything else.

Cons

EY has different cultures in different places or even differemt department. In EY Calgary, Canada, the culture is so bad that the turnover rate for most departments is high enough that you can see people come and go in a span of a few months. The company in general doesnt care about its employees. They treat people like labors and promotes asskissers and politicians. Intellectually stimulating work is rarely handled by junior people yet people's complaint always gets ignored. During the few years of my tenure with them, I always saw really smart, dedicated employees with good heart leaving. Instead, people who are incompetent but very good at office politics and backstabbing/micromanagement get promoted and rewarded. I highly recommend anybody who would like a real career instead of trauma stay away from this firm.

Pros

It use to be a great firm to work for, now it's getting in and wondering if it's your last day.

Cons

Vision 2020 is hurting the firm. The firm is laying off, outsourcing, and cutting expenses. People are in fear of losing their jobs. Moral is down and it feels that people from the top are in it for themselves. Richer getting richer and the lower half get screwed.

Pros

The best reason to work at EY is the training and a few good seniors. Another reason would be the ability to work remotely. In addition actually getting to interface with some clients.

Cons

They put a tremendous amount of stress on you coming in as a staff 1. You're performance is compared and based off of other staff 1s in the company. If you get one bad review, they will slip that review in the next periods performance and state you don't stack up to your peers. They are very unorganized when it comes to engagements. Staff doesn't know when engagements will start and communication is poor from top down. Counselors, peer advisors, and Counseling families are a complete joke and they don't provide you with additional help or resources. When it comes to getting projects no matter how hard you network they always want to give projects to new hires. The people consultants who claim to help you are very rude, unreasonable, and will not give a justifiable reasons as to their decisions. The list goes on and on. My advice is go to a different firm it's not worth the trouble or wasting time at this firm. Compensation was deplorable for someone holding a MS degree in accounting.
