Large company with cutthroat, large company culture
Pros: I did not have a good experience at EY, so take this review with a grain of salt. I was there for 2 years with not much positive to say about it. There are good professional opportunities and the pay is competitive but you will have to put up with a lot in order to obtain that upside.
Cons: Hmm, where to start. The people are jerks who will run you over if you don't look out for yourself (er, I mean, the firm is "high-performing"). The firm claims to support work-life balance but I don't know anyone that works less than 45-50 hours a week, and evenings/wknds are not unusual at all (I had lots of client calls at night or early morning). There is a large company culture, meaning that there is a lot of bureaucratic BS and office politics are horrible. At the lower levels I think there is less of this (due to lower expectations) but it seemed to permeate the entire organization. If you enjoy large companies then it might work for you but beware.
