Pros

Good benefits, good exposure, wide coverage.

Cons

Factors in determining your performance largely depends on the engagements you are assigned to, and the managers you are under. While there is little to no say for staffs to choose your portfolio, it boils down to luck.

Pros

Audit department at EY is a great place to start your career, you will learn a lot in very little time and if you can make it at least 3 years you can move on to bigger and better things. You are surrounded with people your age and there is never a boring day at work. You get great connections, you get to travel, go to training all around Europe and meet people from other countries/offices. There is a great opportunity to get your ACCA qualification in 3-4 years and it being paid for by the Company. If you are good with stress & time management and can also say no to your managers when you are being overworked, you can last for a long time here. Usually pretty light workload during the summer months and a lot of vacations days.

Cons

The business is seasonal so you can expect to be working quite a lot from October to March and it can get very stressful if you don't learn how to manage it. For me personally, the problem is never the workload but other people, there is always a couple of people that make everyone's life a living hell with there behavior and partners don't see that because those people are usually suck ups when it comes to partners.
