Pros

Audit department at EY is a great place to start your career, you will learn a lot in very little time and if you can make it at least 3 years you can move on to bigger and better things. You are surrounded with people your age and there is never a boring day at work. You get great connections, you get to travel, go to training all around Europe and meet people from other countries/offices. There is a great opportunity to get your ACCA qualification in 3-4 years and it being paid for by the Company. If you are good with stress & time management and can also say no to your managers when you are being overworked, you can last for a long time here. Usually pretty light workload during the summer months and a lot of vacations days.

Cons

The business is seasonal so you can expect to be working quite a lot from October to March and it can get very stressful if you don't learn how to manage it. For me personally, the problem is never the workload but other people, there is always a couple of people that make everyone's life a living hell with there behavior and partners don't see that because those people are usually suck ups when it comes to partners.

Pros

Good name for your resume, plenty of industries to choose from

Cons

Managers will force you to reperform menial tasks for tedious reasons while the company culture encourages you to eat hours to save margins (even though they bill the client for your time at a 90% profit margin anyway); one bad review, deserved or otherwise, will ruin your rating and possibly your job security; culture is very cliquey; don't expect any empathy or assistance from managers if you struggle early on, even if it's due to mental health issues or ADD, they'll just give you a poor review and cost you your job
