Best of a a bad bunch in Big 4 Advisory
Pros: EY has some really great people. There is actually some attempt to be considerate of people trying to have a life and the culture is good in that the way people speak to eachother is, on the whole, respectful and not like the horror stories I've heard from other Big 4 Consulting contacts.
Cons: It just isn't a meritocracy. The promotions process is painful and there's a huge element of 'time served' being a factor in performance reviews. This can be incredibly frustrating as it hampers progression and the rate at which you are given responsibility.
