With EY, you can't really go wrong
Pros: Good network, great stamp on resume. Get access to training that sets the precedent for the language of business -- accounting. You will have no problem finding another job in the same industry after 2 years at Ernst & Young. They are the best at what they do.
Cons: Large company, so it's easy to become a number. They expect you to put your work first, and never complain about the pay. Negotiating salary is frowned upon and seen as a sign that you are looking only for money and not job fulfillment. I have heard that EY doesn't really take too much initiative in competing with the Big Four. They mostly follow in others' footsteps.
