Worst big 4 in Luxembourg
Pros: Dynamic environment 
Good location 
Good for CV
Good for a couple of years if you don’t manage to get into another big4
Cons: Many partners, including the top ones, are mostly arrogant and pretentious. The same arrogance trickles down on managers and seniors to the expense of people working with them. Micromanagement is encouraged and widespread, expect your work to be judged on typos and other  stupidities while real issues, if any, are overlooked. 
LOTS of politics starting from Senior above, I’ve been literally told that in order to advance I had to “knock the door of the partner’s office”, whatever it means. 
Awful HR management, and I mean it relative to other big4s. I saw many close colleagues disappear from one day to the other without notice as they were laid off or didn’t pass their probation. Expats were over-represented in this group. Many of them had left their countries to join EY Luxembourg and had their lives overturned.
