Ernst & Young
Pros: The pros of working for Ernst & Young or any Big 4 are the opportunities to see a variety of projects and make contacts with upper level management at other companies/clients.  The other pro is there is a certain reputation that goes with working for a big 4 that makes one very marketable for when the day comes they want to seek employment else where.
Cons: The cons of working for a Big 4 company is that the compensation is relatively low relative to the hours worked. You are also rarely treated like an individual and more like just another "number".  Although to be fair the same could probably be said about most larger companies.  There is also a lot bureaucracy and a certain hierarchy where the lower level positions are treated almost as slaves or indentured servants.
