Inconsistent work-life balance depending on senior management
Pros: If you work for an effective senior manager, the job is great. You learn a ton, the work-life balance is manageable, feedback is clear, and overall job satisfaction is high.
Cons: If you work for an ineffective senior manager, the job can be miserable. It can be very difficult to learn because expectations are not clear, work-life balance can be non-existent because the senior manager wastes your time, feedback is all over the place and inconsistent, and overall job satisfaction is low. 

EY does not currently have upward feedback so if you work for an ineffective senior manager who has friends in high places (partners, practice leadership, etc.) there are little to no ways to fix the issue without angering the senior manager and, in turn, getting poor reviews.
