Out of touch, lack of innovation, known for their gutter HR tactics

Pros

Good place to learn as it has a sink or swim attitude to new starters. You have to keep yourself afloat or you won't stick around. Not bad if you're young, single and career-focussed, although there are other companies who offer the same opportunities and will appreciate your efforts.

Cons

EY is going through a pretty tough time at present, not meeting their ridiculous self-set targets, so aren't replacing staff who leave (and they're leaving in their droves) and are working their current staff to death. No work:life balance. You will be forced to work all hours and weekends and if that doesn't suit you, HR will bully you into it - not a place for working mothers. They purport to have great benefits, but when you want to use them, they'll give you reasons why they aren't available (including promotions). Office politics like I've never experienced.

Pros

Working with cross-cultural teams People attracted to the firm are generally of a capable nature

Cons

No opportunities for true people management - industry provides a better structure and experience Partners are extremely selfish and greedy - we have hit our revenue and profit targets for the year, but the bonuses and salary increases are laughable - we make jokes about pooling our bonuses to buy a coffee The underlying technology and infrastructure is woeful - they talk about "Building a Better Working World" for our clients ... but forget you need to start at home to make a difference and for the employees to truly buy into the new positioning

Pros

Competent and ambitious people. Good name on cv

Cons

HR sucks and they really try to squeeze money, time and energy out of you whenever they can. For a professional service firm, they are highly unprofessional when it comes to culture and remuneration.
