Play politics, or dont stay
Pros: Great learning experience for young folks.  Good exposure to lots of different types of businesses and processes.  EY, with all their faults, does have great flexibiltiy (when your not out on the road, or working until mignight).  Most SMs and Partners are very flexible
Cons: Politics is rampant, and you must play to survive. Start young.  "Align" yourself with someone senior enough to do something for your career, and stupid enough to not know or care what you really can do (yes, there are plenty of them around - you need to find them quickly. Yes, they use the word "Align" (instead of a**-kiss).   It is truly 100% not what you know but who you know - so play the game as soon as you can if you want to be there long term.
