      Great place to launch a career

      Staff accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The training is world class. Also, the name recognition of the firm will put you at an advantage for the remainder of your career, even if you should decide that you don't wish to remain at Ernst & Young.

      Cons

      The hours and the lack of communication with new hires.

      Great for resume, lousy for work life balance

      Audit senior
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Career development, good for your resume, potential to make partner, vast knowledge resources, continuing training paid for by the firm, opportunities to work in other offices both nationally and globally, opportunities to be challenged and learn new things

      Cons

      Work life balance, "up or out" approach, promotion by tenure instead of performance, salary is poor until you make senior management (but then increases significantly and remains one of the best salary/retirement and pension benefits anywhere once you make partner), long hours, client serving which means that you are expected to be available at any time, focused type of work (i.e. only accounting)

      Great launch to your career. You'll need to choose between your family and the firm at some point, though.

      Pros

      Solid reputation and excellent resume builder. A respected employer within the accounting industry. Phenomenal paternity benefits. Opportunities to travel and connect with peers throughout the country. No micro-management. Huge responsibilities from day one. Great launch to your career.

      Cons

      Your first 5 years are spent making virtually minimum wage from an hourly standpoint. 80 work weeks are not unusual. Average work week is probably about 55 hours. Family or Firm becomes the choice you'll need to make no matter what they say about "work-life" balance. It's just the nature of public accounting firms.
