Great opportunities for those who know they want public accounting.
Pros: Ernst & Young, to me, is the best public accounting firm of the Big 4. The organization is excellent at helping you succeed. They are also extremely flexible with vacation and working hours. They believe in their people and are more than fair.
Cons: More a critique of the Big 4 and not Ernst & Young itself, I feel the major downside is that all employees are promoted/compensated at the same rate and time. Those who stand out are not promoted ahead of those who lag behind; it is very step oriented. Compared to other Big 4 firms, EY is also on the low end for salaries. However, I think their organization/culture is a great equalizer to this. I still would go with Ernst & Young if I had to do again (between choosing from the Big 4).
