I currently work here
Pros: - You learn a lot and get to see many different things
- Very diverse culture. You always find yourself working with people from different parts of the world
- If you don't do anything wrong, you get a raise every year and get promoted based on a set schedule
- In general, people here are very friendly and caring
- Having EY on your resume is very good
Cons: - No work-life balance. The firm talks about flexibility all the time, but you don't always get it (or you would rather not get it and have more reasonable hours)
- Hours can be very very long
- If you are in the assurance practice, you will often feel that your work is meaningless and not adding value to anything (It is very clear that your client only wants to get the opinion from you and wants you to leave. They absolutely don't care about the quality of your workpapers and all these audit strategies you spent so much time on.)
