Strategy & Transaction
Pros: You get to interact with client very quickly
Cons: EY = CHAOS. Complete Chaos
-Extremely high internal competition among teams for projects (infact there is a system akin to fastest finger first for pursuing proposals or bids, because multiple partners are doing the same thing in same territory)
-I have worked with other big-4 consulting firms, and I am sure that EY is worst
-Partners and Senior Partners are EXTREMELY Greedy. (Leech, is the internal lingo). They just wanna make quick bucks and vanish.
-Employees pay for Out of Pocket Expense (OPEs) on Projects from their salaries. Directors/Partners will often reject your expense claims, citing weird/baseless reasons.
-Seniors lack knowledge, lack vision, and completely lack sector understanding 
-Negotiate extremely well before joining. Dont worry, EY will hire you; because they need smart and hardworking people; You just need not put your foot down.
- Money is the only language here. Don't fall for caring words. Once you join; they will make sure that there is no increment for atleast a couple of years.
-Firm does not care about clients (forget employees). Its only Money.. Whether the project is fruitful for client, or whether the team is able to deliver; doesn't matter
-HR or employee policies are non-existent. 
-On top of everything, to remove transparency - buggers have eliminated rating system... so, however well you perform; you wont get any rating.. (seems good, but if you think about it - it's actually detrimental for high-performing people)
-While at EY, you will get a feel of working in a typical marwadi/baniya shop ; owner gets rich++ and employees get peanuts
