Great place to start a career
Pros: EY is a great jump start for your career. You are automatically associated with one of the leading professional organizations in the world. Their culture is very professional. After two years, you are already in a supervisory role and have a lot more interaction with the engagement executives. There are a lot of opportunities for growth, learning, advancement, and exposure. You can make a great and rewarding career within the firm, and it will prepare you for a great career outside of the firm as well.
Cons: The hours can be brutal. Overtime is built into their business model, and the more hours you put in, the better for the firm. Work life balance is discussed and an effort is made to promote it, but no work life balance is really allowed from January to April. And if you have a client with a fiscal year end other than a calendar year end, you can have multiple "busy season" (aka no life outside of work).
