Pros

Having this name on your resume will open the door for future opportunities.

Cons

There are several cons to working at this EY location. My biggest issue with this place is that the managers do not value your time. You can expect to work 60-70 hours a week, but you will be told that you cannot charge overtime. In addition to the long hours with zero overtime, your starting salary is far less than what the market pays for the same job. If you do get a raise at the end of the year, it will be so small, that it would take 4 years of that raise just to reach a salary of what you should have started with. The harder you work, the more pressure will be applied to you because management will tell you they "see something in you." Of course, this immense amount of extra work comes with zero benefits to you. Lastly, management sets goals that are unrealistic. They will tell you that project work is of the utmost importance, but will penalize you if you do not do enough activities outside of project work. Management will say they value the employees in meetings, but their actions always prove otherwise. Had I known this information, I would have never accepted a job here.

Pros

Strong brand name - I don't see anything else! I still don't believe how EY is able to achieve such reputation despite all the cons.

Cons

Slave mode: Consultants and Seniors are expected to execute very unfulfilling activities. Boring projects: As the company vision and objectives are focused towards sales volume, partners are ready to sell any type of work just to reach their sales targets. Poor caliber of people: EY positions itself as a competitor of McK/BCG/Bain; however, the people I have met here are far from being the smartest. Roundtables are a joke: Receiving 5 star ratings on projects doesn't translate into a 5 star rating at year end or a career progression. Low pay: If your plan is to make money, then this is not the place for you.

Pros

They don't fire people here.

Cons

They don't fire people. Bullies advance in the firm. Politics are rampant. HR does not address complaints. Company is top heavy. Many senior managers actually do very little work. Associate level people end up doing much work that would be better off given to interns.
