A decent place to work
Pros: Good reputation, good clients, interesting work, opportunities for advancement and promotion, reasonable salary.

I have been with E&Y for 5 years and have been very satisfied with the opportunities to get ahead.  Good work is rewarded and individuals who go the extra mile are recognised.

The area-based structure helps to facilitate knowledge sharing and effective working relationships across borders.  Secondments and international postings are also available.
Cons: Within smaller teams some people are sometimes allowed to dominate the team.  With certain personalities this becomes a problem.  I have worked in two teams (in different countries) where a particular person has been allowed to terrorise the team.  This, however, is not a usual problem and will only really arise where there are small teams such as in transfer pricing or the more specialised service areas.
