Pros: While public accounting often gains slack, if you chose to start in public accounting as a career launch, I believe Ernst & Young has the reputation and resources to jump start a career. The hours may be rough and at times things can be frustrating, however, the flexibility and benefits of working in public accounting sometimes out-weight the crazy hours (depending on schedule assigned).
Cons: Long hours. Politics that can occur. Fact that someone can have a "good" schedule, while another employee can be working til 1am. Pay when compared to private at the same level.
