      Work hard, play harder.

      Advisory manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You want challenges? You will be pushed to the very limits. Interesting and varied consulting projects, working with some of the smartest and the best and travel to far flung places in consultant level comfort. If you are willing to make an effort, what you gain in a year of consulting will be equivalent to 3 years in industry.

      Cons

      Demanding customers (external and internal), pressure to produce work at sometimes unrealistic high levels, if you let it you will be leveraged to the breaking point (multiple projects, practice development, sales opportunities at the same time), heavy travel requirement upto 100% travel to the nicest places on earth (Minneapolis in January, ouch). Competitive work culture where everyone is your frenemy.

      Good Opportunities, High Burnout, low control of experiences

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      EY is a fantastic company, great people, great culture and largely great experiences. The firm has done a great job making it seem small through counseling families. The people here genuinely care about you as a person and the firm really does invest in great "milestone" events.

      Cons

      It's hard to really control your experiences here. On the Advisory side of the house, EY is still trying to figure out what it wants to be and what it wants to message to the market. A lot of the policies and procedures are still audit focused which can be over burdensome and bureaucratic sometimes. Management Consultants will be worked pretty hard and will usually be sent where the money is. Flexibility messaging is still geared towards audit busy season as opposed to what works for other parts of the business Sure the firm has invested in "Experience Managers" to help with placement. I have found that these Experience Managers rarely have conversations with you about where you want to go with your career. It is a largely go it alone approach
