Pros

E&Y provides a tremendous ability to see different organizations and learn new things. The organization puts its people into some very good opportunities and provides some good services to its clients. It is a great place to start your career.

Cons

Leadership is taking a disturbing turn toward a consulting culture. Many of the new hires are from places like BearingPoint (a disturbingly poorly run organization). The focus is on how much you can milk from the client prior to the organization removing E&Y as it's service provider. Leadership talks a great game when it comes to People First, but ultimately it is people first unless the client needs something.... then work all weekend. People are promoted not base on their abilities to do work, but rather on their ability to make sales. Though the firm has a decent system for feedback, the people delivering it provide only the positives, and gloss over the developmental opportunities until they are going to hold back promotion, then they use them to slam the individual very publicly.

Pros

Excellent choice for new graduates looking for a professional career but not sure where they might end up. Wide range of financial, in-house and consulting opportunites for qualified accountants or chartered tax advisors. Suits high achievers, anyone looking to coast will not settle in and be happy. Wide range of training and professional development opportunities. Professional, talented, pleasant, helpful and supportive colleagues. There is a good personal development coaching system. The job is a "high status" CV entry which can open doors into many other areas. Mark Otty in UK v impressive leader. Interesting clients.

Cons

Hotdesking, continual organisational changes imposed by high level management
