Great company to start your career
Pros: EY has a lot of opportunities for entry-level staff, including rotational programs and plenty of ways to get involved internally. The people that I trained with in my first month are still some of my closest friends at work. Working day to day with senior managers and even partners is the norm; the frequent exposure to upper management is a great way to see how the company as a whole works.
Cons: While the rotational programs claim to provide a wide range of experiences, the responsibility of moving between different types of projects falls largely on the individual's shoulders. This works well for some, but can be challenging for others, depending on the projects where you are initially staffed. Deployment is not much help in getting into new projects, you really have to network your way to them.
