Work here if you're looking for stress

Pros

You'll learn a lot

Cons

Establish a positive office culture and protect it. Understand that people from various parts of the country apply their country's traditions/beliefs in the office, such as, men are superior to women or women are to be quiet when a man speaks. Only allow English to be spoken in the office. I've learned quite a few swear words in different languages and I would hear them said in the office in that language. You will be stressed out to the maximum on projects that don't even warrant stress. I was on a project where the team was on was forced to ghost hours. We were working well above 50 hours plus weekends and could only report 40 hours. Although this was before we were granted over time, the additional hours would have benefited our overall utilization. Managers from different offices come in and destroy some of your top employees with their poisonous attitudes, habits, attitudes, and unnecessary pressure. Pay your employees more. You won't find out about the protections you're granted until something terrible happens to you You won't move up fast in the Alpharetta office. Be prepared to be a Staff 2 for years. No work life balance unless you're on the bench

Vision 2020

Pros

It use to be a great firm to work for, now it's getting in and wondering if it's your last day.

Cons

Vision 2020 is hurting the firm. The firm is laying off, outsourcing, and cutting expenses. People are in fear of losing their jobs. Moral is down and it feels that people from the top are in it for themselves. Richer getting richer and the lower half get screwed.

Pros

The best reason to work at EY is the training and a few good seniors. Another reason would be the ability to work remotely. In addition actually getting to interface with some clients.

Cons

They put a tremendous amount of stress on you coming in as a staff 1. You're performance is compared and based off of other staff 1s in the company. If you get one bad review, they will slip that review in the next periods performance and state you don't stack up to your peers. They are very unorganized when it comes to engagements. Staff doesn't know when engagements will start and communication is poor from top down. Counselors, peer advisors, and Counseling families are a complete joke and they don't provide you with additional help or resources. When it comes to getting projects no matter how hard you network they always want to give projects to new hires. The people consultants who claim to help you are very rude, unreasonable, and will not give a justifiable reasons as to their decisions. The list goes on and on. My advice is go to a different firm it's not worth the trouble or wasting time at this firm. Compensation was deplorable for someone holding a MS degree in accounting.
