Pros

The people and culture at the firm are great. I personally did not like my experience with accounting as a field and therefore will not return full-time to the firm but if accounting is your thing, you can't do better than EY.

Cons

In my experience as an intern I found that you don't get to see a whole lot of the real, staff level work you will do once you begin full-time. This makes it a bit hard to truly know if you want to work in accounting or not.

Pros

-good place to start your career, so get the name on your resume, and move on to a much better job -good learning opportunity -mostly, no micro management when running a desk -good networking opportunities

Cons

-some of the partners very nice, some have an ego the size of a planet. Really depends on service line and pure luck - nobody listens to the admin staff re: anything. It's pretty clear we are regarded as second class citizens. Partners have all the power. -Pay is below market standard, and outright laughable for the amount of responsibility and work -lots of politics -nepotism -cold and impersonal atmosphere, it seems people only start acknowledging you if you somehow survived your first year -support staff excluded from service line events consistently, as if we don't work with everybody on a daily basis... therefore, we are not invited to baby showers, socials etc. this is quite insulting and demoralizing. God forbid we are in the same room at the same time, the horror! Did not realize I was in a time warp, and back in a feudal system. -can be pretty boring work sometimes, lots of stress and high expectations, with no reward whatsoever.
