Ernst & Young is a great place to start a career, but if you just want a day job you should go somewhere else.
Pros: The best reasons to work here are the name recognition and wide area of experience. There is a lot of opportunity get as broad or specific an experience as you would like as long as you have proven results.
Cons: It can be hard to balance work and life, especially during busy seasons. At the manager level and above, you are expected to execute projects as a part of your "day job", sell additional projects to existing and new clients, and participate in internal company initiatives or contribute to the company. This leads to a heavy focus and indoctrination within the firm, but it can be hard to separate work and home. May senior executives do not appear to have this separation at all.
