      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decently people-oriented, possible to manage some work-life balance, decent ben & comp packaged, some really great people to meet, very interesting projects, possibility to be involved in many things (client work, publications, training, recruiting etc.), leadership generally try to care about all employees

      Cons

      You can easily just become anonymous in such a big firm, salary is only just decent, bonuses are ridiculous, people with right relationships can crush you, hours can become crazy b/c many people are just very good at pretending to work and you end up with the workload, firm is so complicated that is has become a huge maze to navigate,

      Pros

      Working at EY is a great opportunity to learn. You see a lot of different companies, you learn how they operate, and you learn how to work with people in a variety of environments and cultures.

      Cons

      The hours are terrible The work is tedious and repetitive Management plans poorly for overlapping projects and blame staff for the resulting problems

      Pros

      Fast paced environment where you learn loads more practical accounting and industry knowledge than you could ever learn from private or in school. Guaranteed promotions on a yearly basis.

      Cons

      Reviews are completely arbitrary and heavily reliant on likeability. Being efficient and a genuinely great employee is not rewarded as well as being likeable and being adept at playing "office politics". For very bright staff its often a sink or swim environment. Success of new staff is in part determined by the seniors on the team you join. If your paired with an incompetent senior you will have to struggle to achieve same level of training as other staff, which is a huge set back. On the other hand being paired with an super over achiever who loves this job above their life leads to unjust comparisons. A coworker who would in contrast appear above average appears average in comparison to them. NY colleagues don't perform nearly as much work but given their bigger teams they are more easily rated a 4 or 5.
