Transaction Advisory Services
Pros: Diverse clients and projects (when you're lucky), exposure to senior management

Your experience at EY will depend a lot on your partner, the service line lead and on the team, so take your time to talk to as many people as you can. There are certainly great teams out there, but do not ignore the bad signals that you pick up during interviews.
Cons: - Big four culture (= silos, low work/life balance, very frugal expense policies, inefficient internal bureaucracy, average partner more sales man than people manager and mentor) 
- Company of the average (with luckily some very smart exceptions)
- Promotion mostly based on years of experience versus value of experience and potential (negotiate well before joining!)
- High employee turnover
