a good firm to work for
Pros: I think EY is the best among the big four in Middle East, and the most integrated with the rest of their network globally. This can provide local teams with exposure to top-notch experiences and know-how from teams around the world.
Very professional and respectful culture.
Cons: losing competitive edge due to lack of a client-centric view. Each of the four business lines is still locked up in it own separate silo. Many partners still have the retarded mentality of not sharing client contact information with other partners or not allowing other partners to engage "I own this client relationship so stay away from my client"!!
Pay and benefits increases may freeze for a couple of years despite inflation, but at least they always send the paycheck before the end of each month.
