Good Company but not for techies
Pros: - EY as a organization is really good and they care about the employee a lot.
- If everything goes well, you get promoted every 2 years 
- Superb Offices and IT support 
- International travel for some lucky ones 
- Better salary as compared to other big 4s
- Good bonus but less than Pwc or KPMG.
- Entrepreneurial mindset
- EY mom policy : if you take a break after being a mom they hire you back without interview even after 2-3 years at same position.
- Leaves are not questioned, if you want leave you can take it anytime
Cons: - No quality only quantity: As far as technical work is concerned the quality is below par but they present it in such a way that they've done something which is out of this world. 

- Big mouths : You'll find many people talking big things and cutting edge technology but in the end they'll get a project which isn't even worth the time. 

- Anything for money : This is main reason I resigned. They can do anything to satisfy clients ego. Even if client requests technically impossible things they'll agree to it and later force consultants to deliver it. I have seen many projects been wrongly delivered in the name of something else. 

- Not taking responsibilities : If something goes wrong blame game will start. If everything goes well then people will start taking credit for you. 

- No work life balance: Given its a Big 4 company there's hardly any work life balance. You are expected to work all the time including sundays. Partners/Managers call anytime even at late nights and assign work which is to be completed next day.

- 80% people just assign work and 20% of the people do all the work - that's my observation 

Conclusion: EY is really good company if you want to manage clients, sell offerings etc. But if you're a techie then your role will involve less technical work and more of "business development"
