      It's a Big 4

      Pros

      Working with any of the Big 4 firms, you know what you can expect, especially when starting as a Staff 1 - lots of data entry, ticking-and-tying, etc. E&Y stresses its focus on the people as its advantage over the other accounting firms, but they'll say the same thing over at any of the other Big 4's. Career advancement is well-defined and structured.

      Cons

      It's a big firm, so it's easy to get lost in the cracks. During busy season, expect long hours and little compensation, but this is an industry standard. Recent layoffs hurt morale but are arguably necessary with tough economy.

      A great company, but needs to appreciate the work of non-fee earners more.

      Pros

      A secure, generally supportive work environment, where I personally have found opportunities to mould and progress my role quickly.

      Cons

      -Support staff in general are woefully under-appreciated -Management/Partners often expect support staff to pull out the stops and spend their personal time on projects to compensate for poor time management elsewhere (for no overtime or bonus, but Time Off in Lieu) - Large scale procedural change is often poorly communicated to the business as a whole -Management/Partners are prone to letting personal preference override best practice or global company guidelines, especially when pursuing large projects against a tight deadline

      Need to be the right fit

      Pros

      Lots of opportunities for growth; good brand name for your career; lots of responsibility

      Cons

      Be sure that you are working there because you want to get ahead because the culture is a performance culture and you need to come to work every day. Be aware that the company will use the carrot-and-stick method of leadership so you can expect to have your team struggle to come up with negative feedback whether or not they actually feel that way. Personally, I hated that.
