Trying hard to live up to the purpose driven brand
Pros: Outstanding purpose driven brand  - Building A Better Working World -- and initiatives to truly support it (although at present it is still very much an aspiration to truly live this brand)
Cons: Highly conservative, risk averse, rigid culture
Not as many females in top roles as other Big Four firms
Did not foresee the economic indicators that have made this fiscal year very tough; therefore Advisory Performance Improvement is very far off plan
Colleagues in Advisory not as clever as those at some other Big Four firms
Advisory is a newer, less mature practice at EY than at other Big Four firms - which comes with some pros and many cons
