Ernst and Young is a great place to work.

Pros

Ernst and Young is a firm that invests heavily in its people. Additionally, there is an admirable amount of work/life balance and flexible work arrangements. It is also by far the most globally intergrated.

Cons

At times it can feel like the work is rather pointless. You spend countless hours auditing and all you have to show for it is a little paragraph in an annual report.

Pros

I learned a lot about auditing, client companies' structure, and accounting during my first few years at the firm. I worked at a variety of clients, and working for different people helped me learn different management styles, which helped prepare me for the job I have now. As an auditor, you are exposed to so many different aspects of accounting that when you leave, you will get a job that is at a higher level than if you had gone into industry directly out of college.

Cons

I never received any praise or thanks for my work. The only reason I knew I was doing a good job was that I received positive performance reviews twice a year. E&Y's bonus program is a joke. They act like if you leave you will never get a raise or bonus, which is completely untrue. I left E&Y after 6 years and I'm making over 20% more than I did when I worked there. Also, the partners are completely inflexible, unless you are one of their "golden boys."
