Great place to start
Pros: Although EY can be a hard place to work the pros certainly outweigh the cons.  EY is a very demanding job as far as expectations and that’s what makes it great.  The learning opportunities as an assurance staff-manager are  very beneficial.  At EY you will quickly notice your abilities as an accountant will improve at a much faster rate than if you were in industry. You will be exposed to more processes, accounts and industries than you would outside of the firm.  I would also say the firm culture is a huge plus. Most people are very friendly and outgoing as well as competitive, which will push you to be your best every day.
Cons: EY is a very demanding job. At times it will feel like you have to put your personal life on hold. Additionally, the pay can feel like it doesn’t match to your output. Especially at the staff level.
