I recently joined EY and boy do I regret it everyday. As far as I know, EY is a good company (LLP to be exact). However, its India operations is probably the worst firm to work for. Most of their HR policies are pathetic. Employees have to slog a lot here and the reward is nothing when compared to the rigor. Don't get me wrong, I think rigor is a good thing. But not when it's because of your manager's inefficiency to negotiate reasonable timelines. In such a case, rigor is just unwarranted stress and sleepless nights without any good quality work. Also, don't even get me started on the low quality of human capital here. If your aim is to learn, then EY is not a good place. To learn, you must always be in the company of people who are smarter than you. EY will clearly not offer you that. However, if you want a brand on your CV, then you can consider EY in the short run. EY Advisory by default is a useless offering for the clients as it does almost negligible value addition while charging quite a lot. In short, it is quite pathetic to work for EY. It's a great place for killing potential and ruining your career (if you stick for too long). Join a workplace that helps in your development and offers you opportunities to really expand your horizons.
