Pros

Global recognition of Big 4. Good benefits. Ability to work on a variety of client issues.

Cons

Male-dominated industry; old boys network. Inequality of male/female wages and leadership/promotion opportunities. Harrassment allowed from males if they are perceived to be "rain makers". Golden boys don't get removed/laid off - layoffs are based upon who knows you.

Pros

Opportunity to work towards a professional qualification (CA, ACCA etc). Invaluable to have Big 4 on your CV. Exposure to different clients and industries.

Cons

Long hours, especially during busy season. Low pay (less than £20k) is not enough. Low morale. Being expected to bend over backwards and work extremely hard in order to line the partners' pockets with little thanks or reward.

Pros

- Variety and diverse of projects that you will be engaged in. You will learn A LOT. Every time a new project with a new experience. - Defined methodologies and approaches for each service. - Working with leading companies in the market, which adds a high value to your CV. - Working at Ernst & Young by itself adds you value in the market.

Cons

- The management does not give any attention to employees training and development. - No work-life balance. They treat you like a slave, over the weekend, without any appreciation. - Compensation is lower than market rate, and no clear salary ranges for each position. - No counseling is provided to the employees on their performance. - Handling of Admin issues are very poor. - They send you to a client as an SME, while you are doing this for the first time. - The defined approaches are rarely being followed at the offices. - The ideas and thoughts of the management are being called "best practice".
