Most accounting jobs require having big 4 on your resume
Pros: EY is well respected in the accounting field and therefore, it is a great place to start a career.
Cons: Your experience varies vastly depending on your client and your team.  I had a 4/30 year end client and therefore worked busy season hours from January through July, which was miserable.  Employees aren't compensated well enough for the long hours worked and get burned out pretty quickly.  The amount of work continues to increase due to new PCAOB requirements and other regulations, but the number of people to share the work remains the same.
