Fast paced, fun, exciting & productive
Meetings & Events Coordinator (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – June 18, 2013
Pros: working in a flexible team environment
Cons: not enough time in the day
A typical day is taking care of last minute request's (audio visual equipment, re-set on rooms, catering) I have learned to take it all in stride & to get the request's done as fast as we can. I worked with the best Team, we all would help each other out regardless of what needed to be done. Management would help out as needed & worked with our schedule's – more... & gave the Team the ability to make decisions on the best of our knowledge. The toughest part of the job was last minute changes in a request, however the reward was making the Customer happy that we were able to get the request done in a fast manner. – less

Highest utilization one-day, out the next (literally)
Manager (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – June 4, 2013
Pros: great networking platform, development opportunities
Cons: soulless, heart-sucking management who don't value people, period
Market pressure caused the firm to reduce headcount in the Financial Services Advisory practices. I had the highest utilization in my practice, but my unique skillset was difficult for them to deploy effectively in a "go-forward" mindset, despite high utilization in three of the past four years (go figure). So I was let go, after almost twelve years, – more... two months shy of a $20,000+ bonus and ONE WEEK PRIOR to the birth of my second child. There is an incredible opportunity to learn and grow at EY, but don't think for a second that they care about you as a person. – less

An Introduction to Corporations
Finance Intern (Former Employee), Abu Dhabi, UAE – May 4, 2013
Pros: broad opportunities, shared knowledge & resources.
Cons: private nature of operations in the me.
E&Y was a strong choice for my first internship in the corporate field. Here, I learned the basics of consultancy and audit, and although I did not deliver a cohesive project at the end, I received one-on-one mentoring and training throughout. Thus, I was involved in several company reviews and positioned to learn the different functions that go into – more... providing advisory services to companies.
Although markets in the Gulf region are largely private, and therefore all information highly confidential, I gained a solid understanding of the work culture and ethic that govern one of the richest states in the region.
My internship at E&Y served to introduce me to the world of corporations and laid the foundations for my future interests and goals - transaction advisory services, valuation and business modeling. – less
