"Ok"

"Great flexibility but you have to ask for what you need and have proven yourself to be a solid performer. I find that I either have ultimate flexibility or ultimate inflexibility depending on the time of year or project I am working on but overall I am so happy with the way I can work here."

"If you are in tax, you'll be working 7 days a week during the busy season. The total number of months you WILL NOT be able to see your family or participate in your kids' lives: 4-5 months a year. Flexible work arrangement exists, but it is hard to manage everyone's expectations. If you are a person who wants to be involved in raising your own kids and who always wants to be there for them, you won't be happy at EY. If you don't mind your kids calling your nanny "mom" and don't understand how people live their lives without live-in nanny and housemades, than yeah, you will fit in. Make your career your most important priority and you'll thrive."

"Management consulting, in general, is a boys club. A woman has to be able to walk into a room and take control. Of course, at that point you will be called a bitch behind your back, but at least you can hold your head up high. In Advisory Services, at senior levels, travel to multiple client sites weekly is brutal, at the same time business development and professional development activities are expected. If you have children, hire a nanny...enough said."

"Not for everyone, takes a lot of hard work and the right personality"
