Indirect knowledge from a friend who had a terrible experience there due to poor culture driven by low quality recruits, racism, sexism and in some cases elitism in the Tysons location specifically.

EY’s GPS is pretty new and when I interviewed for a campus hire position a few years ago it was a mess and that was apparent from their interviews, office visits, etc.

If you want government advisory; go with Deloitte. If you want government audit, KPMG is generally considered the market leader (though I’m obviously biased since I work there.)

Are you planning to being the tysons location? You can dm me. I've been in the practice for a few years now.

GPS Senior who can only speak from my experiences- I’ve really liked GPS, however you have to be somewhat of a go getter when it comes to networking and firm opportunities. It’s easy to get put on a project and only get exposure to that team and that work.

I hear that one of the pros is that it usually has better WLB. Cons is the limited exit opps. After this project I’m on I’m calling it my last straw and need a change. Currently at Pwc so will need to go outside of Pwc.
