Get in, credentialize, get out.
Pros: E&Y provides a tremendous ability to see different organizations and learn new things.  The organization puts its people into some very good opportunities and provides some good services to its clients.  It is a great place to start your career.
Cons: Leadership is taking a disturbing turn toward a consulting culture.  Many of the new hires are from places like BearingPoint (a disturbingly poorly run organization).  The focus is on how much you can milk from the client prior to the organization removing E&Y as it's service provider.

Leadership talks a great game when it comes to People First, but ultimately it is people first unless the client needs something.... then work all weekend.  People are promoted not base on their abilities to do work, but rather on their ability to make sales.  

Though the firm has a decent system for feedback, the people delivering it provide only the positives, and gloss over the developmental opportunities until they are going to hold back promotion, then they use them to slam the individual very publicly.
