Pros

Good insurance plan, but missing key features i.e. annual vision exam. Good for lateral movement within EY practices.

Cons

Disorganized and not supportive of it's employees. There is a clear disconnect between leadership and its employees on priorities and needs of the company. Leadership took COVID as an opportunity to trim some staff and are still implementing cost cutting measures just for savings of a few dollars here and there, at the expense of the remaining employees. Many of my colleagues are looking for other opportunities where they will be more valued, compensated adequately, and have a work life balance. No bonuses or promotions last year. Don't be fooled when EY states that it is reinvesting in ins workforce... they are just adding additional welfare programs that provide little to no actual benefit. Last, expense policy is terrible. Fully expect not to get paid for all money spent on business trip and to be audited 1-1.5 years later for cents if you travel often.

Pros

- Employees are given opportunities to see a lot of things in a short period and you are taught to think critically and dynamically, skills that will help you in your career later down the road - Other employers value your time in the consulting world and this time helps catapult your career - You quickly see how a big organization works so the childish "your company has your best interest in mind" mindset fades away fast to the reality of the real business world (might as well rip that one off as quick as possible) - Most people you work with actually share the values that EY promotes in the marketplace (less so at the executive level and more-so at the staff-manager level)

Cons

Consistently staffed on difficult projects (difficult due to dysfunctional clients, internal unnecessary EY politics, mundane projects sold with unnecessarily short timelines) - Regardless of messaging, the firm cares about your work output, hard stop. While they promote "work/life" balance, this balance will get in the way of you progressing through the firm and obtaining pay increases you feel you deserve. - Constantly in a "compare yourself to the strongest performer" culture promotes a reality that if you are not all things to all people, there will be reasons to keep you from going where you want to go
