Probably the worst one out of the Big 4s in Perth
Pros: Hard to generalise when we talk about the Big 4 machines. The practice could be run very differently in another city in the same country. My feedback is based on what I saw in EY Perth Advisory/Consulting world. 
> Knowledge-base is pretty good and accessible.
> Overall, not too bad a place if you want a start/local experience (important in Perth market) but stay too long and it's suffocating.
Cons: Too many to call out here but here's some main ones:
> Partners too greedy to look at staff's plight when on projects.
> People with job titles below Manager are treated quite poorly. No attention given to their feedback/input.
> Groupism and favouritism quite rampant in Perth with little support for "outsiders".
> I've seen things go worse for racial minorities with stupid things such English language skills, Accent etc. brought into conversations when discussing performance and feedback.
> Enjoy milking their clients for non value add, redundant projects staffed with absolute newbs. E.g. Mining clients served by nuffy directors and senior managers who've never ever seen a mine in their life.
> They make sure to make life miserable for people on bench with meaningless proposals for projects EY has no chance/expertise/skills/offering. Often, only aim is to undercut the competition.
