Working in audit at EY (Asset Managemet)
Pros: - Exposure to many high profile clients and various industries 
- Development of many translatable skills such as project management, client management, career coaching for new employees
- The company offers lots of perks such as corporate discounts, dinner reimbursement, and commuter reimbursement (I.e. Uber, Lyft rides etc)
- Brand recognition, many employers value the work experience you will have garnered should you chose to pursue a career elsewhere
- Although busy season is not great, the summers are usually pretty easy. Last year I was basically off the whole month of June.
- I really enjoyed everyone I worked with, a lot of intelligent and motivated people
Cons: - Lots of turnover, typically if you are in the second year associate or senior role a lot of work will be placed on you as there are very few resources at this position
- Salary is not great with respect to the amount of hours you work during busy season.
- Often times you’ll have extended busy seasons as different clients will have issuance that push later out into the spring. Partners will usually pick you up on their other engagements especially if you perform well and extend your busy season. 
- Lots of compliance tasks that conflict with your already busy schedule. Webinars, required e-learnings, continuous training, etc these will come up with out much of a warning and you’ll have to plan accordingly how you can get these done along with you work.
