Zero Work/Life Balance
Pros: - Once in awhile you will be staffed on a really exciting project.
- Get to interact with people from all over the world
Cons: To be successful in the consulting practice at EY, you have to have a very specific personality type and set of values.

If you have a history of using bullying or intimidation to get your way, your style will be awarded and applauded. If you have no relationships or life outside of work, you will rise to the top quickly. If you pride yourself on working 70-80 hour weeks and making half the salary as industry professionals, this is definitely for you. If you enjoy making others feel bad because they are choosing their kids or spouses over work, a bonus is coming your way!

The normal ones who value their families and life over work eventually leave or are let go, so you're left with the described types who thrive. If you are a recent grad, they will work you until you burn while paying you a truly embarrassing salary.

Stick to industry. It's not worth it.
