Great profession development but they will take your soul in return
Pros: Worked there for 4.5yrs.

More jobs avaliable in regional UK area than banking
Rapid professional development & on job learning
Looks very good on CV
Audit dept. itself is ideal for those who like to coast through their career with minimal drive.
Cons: Appaling  work-life balance for the 3+ months of busy season. 50hr+ weeks with zero overtime pay. Some employees had to be paid supplementary money becuase the pay was less than UK minimum wage.
EY will make you travel to jobs, stay in hotels for weeks and between departments and you will have essentially no say in the matter.
If you don't pass you professional exams you will not be able to progress through the firm.
Huge staff turnover
Very poor pay for working hours
