Good place to work and develop, encourage flexible working especially in Advisory. Good place for personal and professional development and an enjoyable work place.
It's a great way to jumpstart your career but there's virtually no work/life balance. Compensation is above average for a recent college grad, but probably not for the amount of hours you're required to work. Workplace culture varies significantly across cities, service lines, and even individual teams. You're surrounded by (mostly) competent and ambitious people, most of whom are young and also recent college grads.However, I'm becoming more and more disappointed with how leadership is treating its employees. In response to the pandemic, the firm froze raises for all employees not in a promotion year. However, when it was announced the firm had record numbers despite the pandemic, a meager raise was given out right before busy season. Additionally, the firm unilaterally decided to implement an "unlimited vacation" policy starting in 2021. They claimed it was to improve work/life balance, but they failed to mention the millions they would be saving by not having to pay out accrued vacation. This feels like a slap in the face for a company who touts themselves as a caring, diverse company.To summarize, this is one of the best methods to jumpstart your career, but expect to work long hours in exchange, and definitely don't expect the leadership to care.
Pros
Great learning experiences, Surrounded by young peers, Great way to get exposed to many different companies/industries
Cons
Work/life balance, Excessive hours, Poor leadership
EY ensures you have what you need to succeed and thrive in their environment. Your career is in your hands and there’s plenty of assistance available.
Pros
Benefits, flexibility, tons of perks for mental and physical health, great work culture
Cons
Vision plan isn’t that great
There is no work life balance at EY, except that everything is great. They give you pretty good salary. Everything depends upon the team you are allinged to.
Worked here 15 plus years. Retiring in April. Amazing place to work! I would recommend EY to anyone. In a world of so much uncertainty, this firm provided me with the comfort and growth I look for in a corporate business.
Pros
Pay, benefits, company perks
Cons
I didnt take advantage of all the amazing opportunities.
I had a number of good and challenging engagements that I performed well at. and received good feedback for. However, my practice lead and performance manager took a disliking to me and continually belittled and marked down key work, was completely lacking in encouragement or support, yet who sought all decisions to be centralized through them.Exceptionally toxic work environment.
Pros
Compensation; global opportunities
Cons
See above critique.
I would recommend EY to those who seek a stable work at Accounts or Auditing. There's a career growth and development. HR department is really supportive and helpful to the staff.
Public Accounting (in particular a "Big Four" firm) is the best place to start your Accounting career. There are long hours, but it's the best place to learn.
No longer what it used to be. A lot of politics and stress from upper level management. Often times require OT and work that is unbillable to satisfy clients.
Jobs at EY
The work hours are pretty flexible, the client work is good. Although there is a lot of competition among the team to get projects, it pushes you to be at your absolute best
Pros
Flexible working hours
Cons
Extreme competition
Lot's of variety in clienbases will get you exposire to many different areas, however the hours are long, and you will be expected to work overtime. The best part of the job is the comraderie.
Working at EY since 3 years and never felt any negativity about the organization. EY gives a good platform for Learn and also pays well as compared to other peer companies. Very good work life balance.
Pros
Work from home, Great health insurance benefits, Better career prospects.
Cons
You will get addicted to this organization culture.
A very down to earth approach, versus other Prof Service Companies. Enjoyed the directness of the Partners and their willingness to help. Love the results oriented approach work environment. It was all about , "what you did versus what you say culture".Would have never left, but they went through a Cap Gemini take over and all of the senior managers left the company.I feel the consulting group can be a major competitor to the Advertising industry. However, they need to figure out the creative capability and how they build that into their offering. It can not be a plug and play approach. As data, insight, strategy, creative and media channel are a continuum that drives an over Strategic Communications approach.
Pros
work environment
Cons
partner track
Too much politics, back biting. Managers are not supportive . No proper training was given. Team members have too much attitude problem. I wont suggest this place to anyone.
Work is quite stressful and timings goes beyond 10 hours per day. Pay wise is low for Intern. Transition to an associate role takes a long time. Meeting tight deadlines and lack of time to learn from the seniors about the work and the role takes a considerable amount of time for the learning curve in knowing what to do in the given role and adjusting to the environment.
Cons
Pay wise for Interns quite low
Most of the teams work based on clients relationship, and if you are getting project, work then you will be in good position since your billing is reported to client through time sheet
Pros
Transport in Pune office with subsidized charges
Cons
I found less engagement, project work coming after few years
Carga de trabajo variable, 6 meses de temporada alta, alternados en el año.Trabajo de data entry es sencillo, en ingles. Ambiente competitivoMandos medios con practicas al borde del acoso laboral/mobing.(sobrecargas innecesarias, mensajes sin fundamentos) te hacen contrato por tiempo indeterminado.Posibilidades de ascender 1/10 o 2/10.Posibilidad de trabajar en un segundo idioma
Pros
Seguro medico privado.
Cons
Alta rotacion (planificada)
Great place to start a career, learn teamwork and understand what it is to work hard, efficiently and engage with wide range of people. Work life balance can be difficult and you can likely find greater compensation in other careers. In the end, you need to really enjoy the work, the people and have a sense of purpose to stick around for the long haul.
Pros
training
Cons
long hours
The culture is terrible, particularly the DLA engagement. Management has favorites and doesn’t develop their employees. The worst experience stay away!
Pros
No Pros
Cons
