Business Outlook

Pros

When starting out, you are surrounded by a class of over 100 people your age which makes integrating into your career a more smooth and like-minded process. You will be absolutely floored by how much information you will learn in at this Company. There are many groups within the company that are open to anyone joining, and there are many volunteering opportunities if that is your passion.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business, there are long hours, especially during busy season. Trick here is to curb your expectations and realize what you are getting yourself into. Experience at the firm is very team dependent - if you are on a great team, work is a piece of cake. However, if you are on a team that doesn't quite mesh or has high turnover, it can be more of a stuggle to maintain a level head.

Pros

It looks great on your CV and you get to work with large Corporates.

Cons

Try and research who you will be reporting into. The place is littered with nasty workaholic bullies. I landed up with one and she made my life miserable. EY will pay you as little as possible and work you as hard as they can. If that sounds like fun - you will love it.

Pros

Looks great on the resume when looking for a new job. Worked at some big name clients and gained a lot industry insight and accounting knowledge.

Cons

Although eating hours is an unwritten rule in public accounting for a lot of people I choose not to do this. I was asked to write off time by a manager and limit my time with but 'get the job done' as they 'did not want a difficult conversation with the partner'. I complained about this, promptly found myself off the client, and had an awful review by said manager. Come year end I was threatened with being fired as a result of poor performance. Unsurprisingly, I was never asked for the corroborating evidence I had to back up my version of events and quit before I was axed. Unfortunately, this site won't allow me to name and shame.
