Great Culture

Indeed Featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
Plenty of opportunity and resources. Great Culture. Up or out promotion model. The Government and Public Sector practice has growing significantly since I joined the firm.

Not for me

Too big, too complex. Great brand, but wow… lots of change, conflict, and bad decision making. Accepts bad behavior if it produces the results. Pays well.

ok

Good company if you like the corporate atmosphere covered by "family values". Many projects, so you can stay there for longer, they if your project ends, but will look for something else for you to do

Stimulating location to work.

Stimulating location to work. Really nice managers and culture within inside the company. We have great benefits. Salary could be much better comparing to other industries

Fully supportive of Remote Work

Laptop and software supplied. Large diverse workforce, geographically speaking. No negotiation of benefits and time off. Warned of toxic manager but little I could do in my position to rectify that.

Pros

Large diversity

Cons

strict hours, toxic management

Typical Big 4 Experience

Typical Big 4 experience. Benefits improved a lot in my few years there. Depends on the practice and office, but I felt that I was given the opportunity to grow and was recognized for my achievements.

Great job, however short term gig work seems few and far between

I worked for EY on a short term contract through their Gig Now website and landed a fantastic temporary gig. I was told throughout the process that I would definitely have opportunities to stay on with the company at the end of my contract.Unfortunately, this was not the case. In fact, to add insult to injury, I had applied for another job and was given an interview request in September. I responded near immediately and even offered to chat with the recruiter the same day if they were available, but I was ghosted for months. Multiple emails and phone calls and I was left clueless. I eventually moved on to another position in another company and only in the last week of November was I informed that the position was no longer available.I've been continually looking at the website and GigNow but only have seen opportunities for auditors. I'm just a little frustrated I was told by multiple managers who knew my qualifications there would be further opportunities for me when there have yet to be.

Pros

Great pay, great work environment, fully remote

Lots of benefits

Work load can be stressful but WFH and benefits such as 4 month maternity leave, 20+ company holidays and unlimited PTO help to compensate. overall have enjoyed my time here and have learned a ton

High stress, high hours, ok pay, strong advancement and security

Work from 7am to 7pm with some work on weekends. Work varies client-by-client with a lot of new opportunities to learn. Management cares about your growth and advancement, but upper management is often establishing road blocks for specific departments. Culture is work hard then work harder. The hours are difficult and sleep and health will be impacted. Coworkers are great and supportive though and there are some perks, particularly with career advancement and quick learning opportunities.

Pros

Advancement and job security

Cons

long hours, high stress

Awesome place

Loved it. Lots of fun with colleagues and hard work but worth it. Lots of getting brought up to speed. Fast paced work and a lot of stuff to do. Great place.

Good Place to Work

Good and collaborative environment. However, I never really got a lot of work to do nor was I able to make a large impact. I suppose thats just how consulting firms are.

Great Summer Experience

Had a great time interning at EY. Gave a good insight into work life and learned lots of valuable lessons. Completed two rotations, having the opportunity to explore two different areas.

great company and great people

I enjoyed working with EY, amazing team and great management. The only issue was work life balance and management should really pay attention at working hours and mental wellbeing of employees

Challenge and fun but depending on project

The project dictates your experience. Meaning if you get a great project, you get a lot of exposure and development. The travel can be a little taxing for some people but this was pre COVID where you travel every week

Lot of Hours and underpaid

Work is expected to be your life for 30% of the year. Understaffed teams, unrealistic deadlines, and bad office dynamics. Expect to do the work of 3 people.

Average

Not that great to work for in a long term employment. Long working hours are a concern . Staff level is where they make you work so much. Leave options are good

Leadership Sucks

Most people in the groups are nice and supportive. However,the leadership are terrible. They are not supportive during the economic downturn. They will fire you just because they cannot win more works for you

Deardful

Very exploitative. Need to focus on WLB of employees. Concept of HR doesn't exist. The perception of your work takes precedence over the actual work you do. Great place to learn. But, comes at a cost
