Working at E&Y a Great Lesson in What Large Corporations Value
Pros: Increased networking opportunities
Working for a Big Four firm positive on resume
Teaches object lesson in importance and value of due diligence in employment decisions
Large companies don't necessarily have the lock on opportunity for growth and development
Cons: Disconnect of management from staff.  Limited growth opportunities unless you are of the privileged and annointed few who have been blessed by partners and managers.  Mindset of management toward staff is exclusively narrow in their focus.  Opportunities for growth and development limited unless you belong to the annointed group so appointed by partners and managers.

Managers have not been properly trained and are not knowledgeable about major functions of the engagement teams.  However, these same managers continuously look for opportunities to accuse staff for their sub standard knowledge and skills instead of accepting accountability.  Hard work and effort goes unrecognized.  Management is blatantly condescending and patronizing, subjective in their assessments with narrow mindsets regarding status, culture, race, and religion.

Because of the aforementioned items a lack of trust, respect and integrity to principle is the working environment of the day.
