E&Y, Good place to work but not perfect
Pros: Great networking opportunities, great place to start a career.  Great opportunities to participate in professional organizations.  Co-workers are smart, driven and (mostly) ethical.  Good support for encouraging achieving various certifications.  Good benefits including maturity leave, Roth 401k, assistances services, and relocation assistance.  Good abilities to move around in the firm (geographically and functionally) if you are willing to do other things.
Cons: Promotions are based mostly on tenure.  A culture of each person being not an individual, but a replaceable part at lower levels of the organization (up to and including some management positions).  Experienced hires are brought in at too low a level and pre-existing skills are not advertised (which can limit opportunities).
