Good for prestige, but soul-crushing in the long term
Pros: The international corporate culture is superb. You're made to feel included and part of large family. I had no trouble accessing anyone for consultation and conversation, from partners all the way down to the janitors. There also seemed to be prestige associated with working at EY that other people recognize
Cons: I've only had experience working as a tax intern, but while there I felt divorced from the meaning of my work. I was a cog in an information processing machine, taking in financial information and churning out tax return forms. Efficiency is highly emphasized as the work is largely monotonous and requires little by way of creative thought.
