Pros

marketability is the main reason. The name alone looks great on resumes. Additionally, I've met a lot of great people here, the majority of them have since left though. On top of the people, there is a tremendous opportunity to learn and develop, especially in the first few years. I can say that I've learned a lot over my first 2+ years.

Cons

The compensation is dowright pitiful when you consider with the amount of time spent working and raises have been generally going downward despite the fact that they keep touting how well we are doing as a firm as compared to the other big 4. Also they talk a lot about firm initiatives like "people first" and "flexibility" but the truth of the matter is that truly only exists for senior managers (to and extent) and partners.

Pros

The firm respects people as individuals and offers the opportunities for individuals to shape their own careers in the areas most interested to them. Ernst and Young supports mobility in allowing employees to move between regional and country offices. Ernst and Young provides high quality training for all its staff and sponsors specialist training from external providers as and when necessary. Ernst and Young sponsors its employess to obtain and retain necessary qualifications.

Cons

Staff are expected to work long hours during busy project times and this may include working weekends. It may be difficult to leave particular projects if the project team are unable to find a suitable replacement or the client does not want this to happen.

Pros

GREAT PEOPLE!!!! Flexible environment. Fast learning curve. Treat you like a professional. Will give you all you can handle. You are truly in charge of your career. People really are first. Honest firm - I've encountered many situations where I am proud to say EY really did the right thing, despite how difficult it may be!

Cons

No sure of my career path - I was before moving into APT. But, now it isn't as clearly defined as it was in client service. You have to work a number of hours - endless hours. However, this is known before really starting with EY, so, you expect it.
