Pros

You get to work with intelligent people (in most cases) from around the world. You have the opportunity to work and live abroad. There is a clear focus on constant learning and development. And, depending on the group you are in, your coworkers do take a genuine interest in you as a person (and as a person who has a life outside of work).

Cons

Due to the nature of the work, the hours are sometimes long (particularly when you have to coordinate schedules among a global team). Some of the people are very narrow minded and don't have an interest in or knowledge of the world outside of their narrow area of focus. There are still remnants (disappearing fast thankfully) of the old boys network where people are given access to work on choice projects and are promoted based on their ability to bullsh*t and to talk sports with the boys.

Pros

Opportunities to do exciting work Teams good to work in Flexible on moving location to location or department to department

Cons

Low salary compared to other B4, Industry or others Business units with low numbers of partners means less access to top people and lack of support for initiatives Performance mangagement process is very onerous (lots of forms on very poor IT platform) and 90% of the time ends up with a standard 3 (meet expectations) rating which attracts 1-3% pay rise only.

Pros

Ernst & Young is definitely a place to launch your career. It will help you build your knowledge foundation on different types of industries and it will open plenty of doors for you when you're ready to leave public accounting for the private sector. The training and exposure you'll obtain from Ernst & Young are invaluable. You will also meet great mentors and friends.

Cons

Although the experience is great at Ernst & Young, the hours and the resources are the downside of working at any public accounting firms. As a result, employees of any public accounting firm generally sacrifice their own personal lives.
