Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former

Assurance Associate
Pros: The following pros and cons are relevant to a UK regional offuce

Progressive culture - managers are friendly, social and collaborative atmosphere (at least at my level)
Good internal opportunities at career prospects once qualified
Very well structured training environment
Exposure to a variety of clients and industries
Our client-based work is varied and interesting
Cons: Salaries at EY are lower than other Big 4 audit positions
The hours in audit are long on certain clients during the year end audit
Future opportunities at the firm can be uninspiring; managers and seniors work long hours for pay which is much lower compared to industry/ low compared to other professions which work similar hours
Pay is low for a graduate job that advertises itself as a prestigious opportunity, thought still perfectly good
