Ernst & Young is a great place to work as others have mentioned.

Senior associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many opportunities to work outside of your current area. Goals are factored into your responsibilities and you're encouraged to set and ensure that these are achieved. You learn a great deal and skills are honed. The people are nice overall. You work for a well respected company.

Cons

Long hours in the weekday and on the weekends. Salary is not competitive. You will get passed over for a promotion if not in a certain service line. Others are favored more than some.

Good firm, learn quickly, meet lots of people, get involved in lots of businesses

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great atmosphere, good people, most of the time your opinions are valued, training is excellent, extremely broad spectrum of services and oppurtunities, large amount of resources for technical assistance, good culture, good social events. Overall I think this a great place, and I think the pros highly outweigh the cons. But the cons are definitely there.

Cons

In my opinion: Unrealistic expectations of how much you can do in one day, poor IT applications which crash numerous times per day, frustrations when IT applications don't work at the worst moments possible, long hours, uncertainty as to what time you will get home, expectations that you can do two things at the same time, difficulties is scheduling resources, management has a tendancy to be stubborn (not always the case), and in my opinion, the largest con, which is unrealistic expectations about the level of quality with the time provided.
