Pros
The culture is people focused and great emphasis in placed on reinforcing the value of the people as an asset to organizational success. To this end, the firm provides an excellent benefits package, training and development opportunities and a "flexibility" benefit that makes work/life balance very attainable. EY prides itself on high ethical standards and delivers on that commitment.
Cons
Highly matrixed, disorganized structure. Lack of efficiency. Lots of red tape, making it difficult to accomplish the simplest of tasks without proper documentation. Poor or fragmented communication practices. Despite quality being one of the critical success factors, the actual quality of work outside of the audit function often leaves a lot to be desired.
