This was a great learning opportunity and overall a good place to work.
Pros: As a Transaction Tax Manager, I had access to the top professionals in the country in a different areas, many of whom wrote the tax law and regulations in their respective area.  The transactional structuring advice was always tailored to fit each client's specific facts and circumstances and never tried to fit a client's transaction into a prepackaged firm strategy. Whatever negative things I may say regarding the partners and managements treatment of employees, I would trust the professional tax advice generated by them.
Cons: The partners will rarely be honest with you regarding performance and are generally uninterested in giving constructive feedback or advice in planning your career at E&Y.  As with any corporate business, it's a political atmosphere with some backstabbers who greet you with a friendly smile each day and some genuine positive professionals.
