Diversified Tax Staff Dallas
Pros: Great people to work with in the Dallas Tax practice. The people I work with care about life outside of work and do what they can to support work-life balance. Good benefits (e.g., EY pays about 80% of the cost of healthcare). Many opportunities to grow and learn on a variety of projects, including tax compliance and income tax provisions to specialty groups such as international and indirect. The diversified staff group model is great for those who do not get staffed on one of a couple of large engagements (see cons).
Cons: Some new hires in Dallas (about 30%) are staffed on large engagements that do not permit them to gain different experiences within the first year or two of employment. Overall, however, I believe EY is more flexible and committed to providing a diverse experience than the competition. Another con is that there is not much differentiation in raises between average performers and high performers, at least in the first couple of years.
