Senior Consultant
Pros: Amazing learning opportunities,
6 weeks of holidays if you're on certain clients,
Great overview of innovation, process improvement topics,
An awful lot of events and interesting organizational groups to get involved in,
Interesting projects (if you're lucky), great industry to be in
Cons: I might have been unlucky, I've heard of people who are enjoying EY but in my experience:
* Disconnect from company's vision to actual reality (inclusiveness, people focus etc.)
* Plenty, plenty of people being hired on a lower level and salary than they deserve (they do that to themselves too). They promise re-evaluation that never happens.
* I was high performing etc. and yet still got so much disrespect from some directors with expectations of being online 24h/day and doing/presenting things you have no clue of, not showing up to scheduled meeting, asking for things that you do on sunday evening, to then completely disregarding it as not needed anymore (very often) or replaced by something else last moment...
* No discussions about money ever, 
* HR is a complete disgrace, referral scheme is useless, they make a lot of mistakes with payslips, they manage things in Excel spreadsheets... 

Some people are born to wear suits, pretend they're perfect and take sh*t from people. If that's not you - do not head in this direction. I gave them a try and re-affirmed myself, i like being appreciated and respected, call me an egoist.
