Pros

Smart People to work with Great Name for the resume Interesting clients and projects Proven Systems that can be used at other jobs

Cons

Too many layers of people and rules Lots of hoops to jump through and govt. regulations Getting technology to be successful was like pulling teeth You end up doing routine tasks for clients because they are too lazy so they just hire you

Pros

-brand -established clients -great starting pay/benefits for entry-level accountants -support for the CPA exam, CPA bonus, etc. -training -good opportunities for mobility; EY has an office in every major city

Cons

-expected to be able to work 65+ hrs/week any time during the year, not just busy season. Expect this to happen almost every week. -no comp time for overtime hours worked -roundtable system flawed. A "5" will get pushed down to a "4" during roundtables, a "4" to a "3", etc.
