Experience level: Confirmed

Amongst the 4, this is the top
Pros: EY absolutely is a people first culture. The opportunities to grow, develop and be a leader are unparalleled. You are given the freedom to choose your path and will have the support to do it. If you are a working parent, EY is the best of the  best. Not only is flexibility offered (and encouraged) but the firm recently increased the maternity leave policy, making them an outlier in  the industry. Benefits are pretty cheap, and for most levels, most or all of your phone bill is paid for. The EY name truly lives up to itself. I would recommend EY to a friend in a heartbeat
Cons: Some of those added benefits come with a trade off..which means lower pay in comparison to the other Big 4. If you are considered a top performer, you will walk away with decent raises and bonuses, but keep in mind you need to be moving mountains to receive the top performance rating. The bonus is just ok and nothing to write home about. You will undoubtedly have too much on your plate all of the time, since it's an expectation to have several internal extracurriculars on top of your day to day.
