Pros
-You will be exposed to high profile clients -if you want to try a rotation in another group, sometimes resource management will accommodate (but expect to fight tooth and nail with your engagement teams to let you do it) -based on conversations with team members who worked at other big 4 firms in NYC, EY in NY has a more laid back culture and doesn't tend to hire very up tight people (but that does not mean these people don't exist here. They do)
Cons
-technology at EY is far behind, even the wifi can be terrible - Work-life balance does not exist. You can work until 4am many times, and no one is saying thank you, as it's expected or seen as part of doing business (especially in the asset management group) -compensation for the amount of extra hours you definitely will end up working in NYC is not fair -firm has no problem throwing its lower ranked members under the bus when the bottom line is being affected -bonuses and financial rewards for working hard do not really exist, and are very small in dollar amount if given
