Pros

Talented co-workers that are willing to work as a team instead of individuals. Firm resources are vast including top notch trainings, although the lavishness of trainings and meetings have definitely been cut back recently due to the ailing economy.

Cons

Typical Big four buearacracy and politics... if you worked at one, you know what i'm talking about.

Pros

It is a knowledge hub where resources to learn are plenty. Also, practices like assurance, TAS get expose you to many areas. But, work in some practices like TSRS is very monotonous and can get very boring.

Cons

Compensation is not satisfactory and is not commensurate with the effort you put in. Much lower than what industry offers. Also, work hours can be too long sometimes especially in assurance practice.

Pros

1. People - Wonderful, kind, and intelligent people who have strong work ethics. It's great to work with people who 'get' your meaning and won't find excuses to not work ... everybody works hard. It also has a young and diverse workforce. It's just a great work culture. 2. Career - There is a good structure to one's career here - making it a great place to start out a career. There are well-trained counselors, strong teaming and feedback culture, and reasonable opportunities for learning. Also, as long as you perform well, career progression is relatively smooth up to senior manager level.

Cons

1. Opaque compensation. First of all, I don't think E&Y's compensation is competitive with similar work in other industries. Second, I think E&Y compensation lags the Big Four competitors. Most importantly, shouldn't a firm that advocates transparency in the financial world also be a little more transparent about its compensation process to its own employees? 2. Rigid career progression. Stated one way, this is a good attribute - availability of counseling and clear career progression of career. Stated differently, E&Y is not a meritocracy. If you're a strong performer, you may be frustrated with lack of appropriate promotion and compensation. More to the point, you'll get bored.
