Pros

Company is well respected in the community and has an excellent reputation. It's a good company to have on a resume. They have a good client base and many of the people who work at Ernst and Young move on to work at jobs in the corporate sector, taking jobs at their client sites. This company is an excellent stepping stone to move through the corporate world. They have been around for almost 100 years and have been able to keep themselves and their reputation clean. They hire people who fit their mold and align with the company policy. They are a good company to work for if you are looking to make a career in audit, tax, or move on to the private sector.

Cons

Feedback isn't constructive. A class system attitude. One department doesn't seem to know what the other department is doing. If communication between segments was more accepted work would be done more efficiently.

Pros

Great people. Generally everyone is smart, helpful, and nice to be around. Great opportunities and room for growth.

Cons

large bureaucracy. Far too many support staff, far too many p/a's, always milling around with nothing to do. "Peer reviewing" and the monitoring of staff behaviour was beyond belief, it seemed more time was spent "proving" things about people than time being spent on actual work. Did not think this branch was client focused at all, people were slow to get back to clients and slow to apologise for mistakes. Some clients were grossly overcharged for shoddy work. Very much an old boys network, there were some very incompetent employees who should have been moved on, but appeared to be kept only because of who they knew, or their past reputation at previous organisations. This was even though many staff and managers had complained about their work performance, unexplained high absenteeism, etc.
