      Pros

      Great opportunities. Large company with plenty of resources.

      Cons

      Culture really promotes working long hours and anyone who doesn't is percieved as not a top performer.

      E&Y is a great if you have real ambition and tenacity, but not for someone who isn't willing to put career first.

      Pros

      Ernst & Young is clearly committed to quality in everything they do, as their tag line states. They demonstrate this commitment in how they develop and mentor their people, approach their client-serving responsibilities and work products, give back to the community, and embrace diversity.

      Cons

      Despite the many great strides in efforts to promote work-life balance, Ernst & Young faces the seemly impossible task of enabling individuals in client-serving positions to pursue their personal and professional goals simultaneously without unduly interfering with expectations on either side. Simply put, it is very difficult for individuals who want to work full time instead of on a reduced hours basis ("flexible work arrangement" as it's called) to make time for family or other personal commitments when the job calls for 60-80 hour work weeks for at least a third of the year. I also think 3 weeks paid vacation for non-managers and 4-weeks paid vacation for managers is below industry standard, though Ernst & Young does have many other competitive benefits available.

      Excellent starting point for career.

      Pros

      Great opportunities when leaving the firm. Big 4 are known around the world and offer a lot of potential for making the most of your career. Everyone is very intelligent, helpful and supportive. You really notice this when you go out to clients and talk with people and realize the level of incompetence some companies hire people at. If your into traveling your going to do a lot of it (on the advisory side). I would say I travel 70%-90% of my time.

      Cons

      The hours can get pretty ruff at times. Work life balance is just a buzz word thrown around by HR and partners. The raises are above what you would find in the private industry and can range between 9%-15% but in today's economy that might be changing.
