Pros and cons depending on your personal goals
Pros: You get to work with some of the largest investment companies globally and a valuable line on your CV. Great place to meet international colleagues. Other service lines within EY have very interesting projects, which as an auditor, you may be able to be part of. you can become senior after 2 years
Cons: Internal teams such as HR and Planning are terribly under-staffed, do not expect an immediate reply on an issue, if it all. EY takes an on-the-job training approach which allows you to learn a lot, however, during busy periods, this is extremely stressful. A lot of seniors and management lack basic communication and leadership skills which makes approaching them with questions difficult and often leaves a hostile impression on you. Very long working hours during busy periods, which is common across the Big 4's.
