Toxic frat bro culture

Transaction diligence senior (Former Employee) - San Francisco, CA - September 23, 2023

I worked at the SaT transaction services at EY. The private equity firm mentality from clients got to this service line. Not much diversity left after the layoff in 2023.

Intern (Former Employee) - Remote - September 6, 2023

My internship at EY was an enriching experience overall. One of the major strengths of this internship was the company's excellent reputation in the industry, which undoubtedly added value to my professional profile. I had the opportunity to work on diverse projects and collaborate with talented individuals, allowing me to expand my skill set and gain valuable insights into the world of professional services. The training and mentorship provided were top-notch and contributed significantly to my personal growth. Moreover, the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion was evident throughout my internship, fostering a welcoming and inclusive work environment. On the downside, the workload could be demanding at times, requiring strong time management skills. Additionally, like any large organization, there were moments when communication between departments could have been more efficient. Nevertheless, my time at EY was a valuable stepping stone in my career, and I am grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained during my internship

Toxic

Assurance Senior (Former Employee) - McLean, VA - July 10, 2020

Put in your time, make senior then leave unless you plan to stay and make partner. Winners are losers here because you almost always have to pick up other people's work. People are still getting promoted regardless of low performance and high performers are paid very little more than low performers which makes all the great people leave. No guidance, no appreciation whatsoever!!! It is ALL about the budget and margin and you will be forced to eat hours without being told so directly. Moreover, if you are bad luck, you will be put on the worst client and stuck there or working under manager who is lazy and belittles fellow employee.

Pros

Diversity, resume builder, flexibility, challenging work, great learning curve

Cons

Long hours, bad management, toxic work environment, and pay is way below market

Great place to work!

EY's workplace culture is dynamic! Inclusivity and diversity are embraced which makes for a healthy work environment. Managers are top-notch! Op-tempo varies but overall the stress level is manageable. There is nothing majorly complex about the job and someone is always available to assist.

Great opportunities to learn new things, lots of hours

Manager, Internal Audit (Current Employee) - McLean, VA - January 14, 2020

Great thing about EY is the endless number of opportunities made available to their employees. They really do care about you as a person as opposed to a number. Work/life balance is not great and you are never "done" working - always something you could be working on. Like other big firms, promotions towards the top are pretty political.

Pros

Learning & Development, Diversity, Benefits, PTO (number of days)

Cons

Long hours, very political, no time to actually use PTO
