Salary - A | Culture - B | Management - B | Coworkers - B

Pros: Excellent Pay - flexibility of work; perks; opportunity to learn and network; brand value
Cons: Maintaining a work-life balance can be challenging, especially when projects are scarce, and hitting utilization targets adds pressure. During prosperous times, there may be plenty of projects, but in lean periods, your network becomes crucial. If the partner or leadership team has closer connections with others, it may affect your project opportunities—essentially, a reminder of the realities of corporate favoritism in America.

To bolster our resilience and adaptability in today’s competitive market, it’s essential to invest consistently in employee skill diversification to improve project adaptability. Introducing flexibility in utilization metrics will help maintain morale during lean periods, while fostering a collaborative, inclusive networking culture can enhance both individual and team growth. Additionally, a goal-oriented quarterly review system focused on assessing personal progress relative to prior performance, rather than solely on absolute metrics, could provide more impactful feedback and motivation.

Pros: In accounting, EY has a ton of brand equity. So if you have Big 4 experience on your resume, it's a plus. The two other audit interns I worked with were cool. They are looking to hire because of high turnover or desperation. If you need a job after college, this may be an option.
Cons: My internship in terms of client work was disorganized. I don't believe that my client work was planned well at all. My billable hours were laughable. If billable hours are a main metric for success for public accounting, my time here fooled me. I ended my internship with 27% utilization. This meant I was doing client work just over a quarter of the time. EY suffers from the collective attitude problem of accounting firms. The microaggressions are unprofessional and embarrassing. Like who hurt you, EY?

Get it together. Public accounting has a pipeline problem and this type of experience does not help. Whether you like it or not, firms like EY are the face of the profession and the face ain't pretty.

Pros: EY has one of the best working environments I have experienced. Their benefits are extremely competitive. Their unlimited PTO, the health insurance options, and their annual bonuses are just a few of their exceptional benefits. One of the best for me is their educational options where anyone can take accredited courses that can lead to a Tech MBA at no cost to the employees. A company I highly recommend!
Cons: Limited resources with limited knowledge in specialty areas can make it hard sometimes for people to move to other projects to expand and gain other knowledge because a replacement cannot be found.

There is a lot of focus on college recruiting, but equal investment should be made on professional recruiting so we have more people with industry experience.

Salary - D | Culture - F | Management - B | Coworkers - D

Pros: - free snacks and coffee - plenty of opportunities open for those who want to stay in risk advisory and accounting roles - thanks to trauma bonding, I’ve made friends for life through mutual disdain of our employer - many mid-level and senior management employees are supportive and will invest time into you - yearly salary is competitive*
Cons: - little to no mobilization into roles in tech, finance or management consulting as a staff - major mental health issues from workplace burnout and trauma is epidemic, especially as a staff and senior - your experience is largely team-dependent and there is no overarching consistency with how teams are led and your experience will vacillate from fairly pleasant to crying at 9 or 10 pm for a months-long stretch - common to stay on the computer until 8-10 pm accomplishing no real feats - very little incentive to claim ownership of the work done - for many, no real incentive to produce high-quality work when it’s typical for staff to work a busy season on a team only to be offloaded to the next busy season team in a long-running cycle - lots of time wasted on office politics and fake work - many mid-level and senior management employees are apathetic and will not invest time into you - yearly salary is competitive* on paper, but accounting for hours worked and duress sustained, is not fair compensation
