Great Place to Start a Career
Pros: Big 4 consulting companies like EY are great places for young consultants to start their career.  There is access to training, research materials, and mentors.  It exposes you to practiced and proven methodologies and processes. Also the list of contacts and opportunities are large.  You can really take advantage of things by soaking up as much knowledge as possible.  Just make sure that you learn to think for yourself.
Cons: Long hours, average pay and benefits, and lots of travel.  These are alright if you are younger, but the rewards for consultants with families is not that attractive.  Turn-over at the mid-level is quite high, sometimes leaving a gap in knowledge and skill level between the partners and the staff.
