Pros

There are no pros. People are backstabbing and manipulative, and the hours are horrific.

Cons

Everything about it. If you go to a job here, kiss your personal life goodbye. Managers are horrendously inept, and are quick to throw anybody under the bus when they screw up. If a Senior or Manager feels threatened by you, expect a crappy review because they will do anything to impede your advancement. Busy season averaged 85 hours a week, and I was disciplined for leaving at 2 AM, which apparently was "too early" to go home. I was also disciplined for taking a lunch break. I'm glad I worked here for the sole reason of knowing what kind of environment I don't want to work in.

Pros

The realty is Ernst and Young is really an investment in your future potenital. Initial pay is low compared to others in the field, but the potential to move up after years of service is high. Essentially you must weigh the cost-benefit of working for the company, low present salary vs potential high salary in future, to determine whether to take up employment. The reputation of the company is also an intangible benefit to your employment. Others in the field and indeed finance sector view experience with EY with high regard.

Cons

As already mentioned, long hours, low salary, at the begining of your career. Also inital projects tend to be tedious.
