EY provides you a platform to achieve success
Pros: - The experience is what you make of it. If you're willing to put in the effort, you can make big strides at the company
- People care. If you're having a hard time in a client facing role and need to switch to an internal role, leadership will do what they can to make that happen 
- You have the opportunity to connect with a variety of resources with a different background - diversity is key to producing high quality work products
- The company is trying to develop a flat culture, where rank is a big deal. The leadership is trying to foster a culture that encourages communications amongst all levels
- Access to leadership is always made available. You'll never be part of a team where there are 10,000 resources in the team. You will always have a small team with a leader.
- The average team age in a client facing role is fairly young. In my experience, my team averages have been between 28 and 32. 
- Sponsorship is available for higher education (as expected, it is very competitive) 
- It's very easy to connect with people that you haven't met before
Cons: - Traveling week in and week out is possible (can be exhausting)
- Benefits aren't the best (the 401 could use some work)
- You might get staffed on a bad project (this is true at any consulting firm) 
- Like any big firm, your performance isn't only based on merit but also based on the 
   relationships you've developed with leadership
- Internal tech capabilities (e.g. Mobile app to access emails) are lagging 
- Compensation could be better (everyone will say this at some point in their career)
