I had a bad experience my first two years at pwc, but I networked onto a different team and now I’m quite happy. Noting this can change if/when the team turns over though. Everything is people-driven, the brand means nothing.

There are good days and bad, but I’ve been generally content with my career and happy with my time at EY.

it’s very team dependent what your experience will be like. I will say my first year in Big 4 was incredibly rough understanding the company and audit. It’s a steep learning curve and your training will be dependent on an over-worked senior. It’s a rough year.

I would do it again, because the experience/knowledge I received was something I have taken everywhere I’ve gone and set me up for success. I left after a little under 2 years.

I worked at KPMG for a year and only left for more money. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

I enjoy mine - but I have a great team. There are definitely other teams I would not work on

I agree that there are pros and cons to any job. i Have several friends who work at one of the big 4 and love what they do. It probably depends on your role and what team you are on just like most companies.
