      Awful professional experience. Leadership lacks accountability. Local and global cultures not aligned.

      Pros

      - Good brand name globally - Decent exposure to different industries/projects (if you can get onto them) - Good platform to start your career

      Cons

      - Partners & Sr. Managers very poor at people management - Bias and preferential treatment shown by Partners & Sr. Managers - Management tends to blame junior employees for blunders and mistakes in decisions taken by them - Local work culture office very "school" like and political. Inflexible and needless micro-managing by people not involved in actual project work - Many managers not clear conceptually in areas of work. Tend to make client sales without knowing concepts themselves. - Contributions never valued. Credit for work done by junior employee gets taken away by Sr. Management - Local culture definitely not "globally integrated" as per EY values

      Pros

      There is nothing positive about working at this place. It is horrible!! And they treat their employees like crap.

      Cons

      Everything. Benefits are bad. Pay is bad. Hours are too long. Management is bad. The culture is bad. I never knew how wonderful a job could be until I left E&Y.

      Pros

      Big company, if you like that. Good flexibility, depending on your location and your manager you can often work from home and come and go as you please. Name brand company.Pretty good benefits but not as good as they would like you to think. Still have a pension which is not common anymore.Wins awards for one of best companies to work for but doesn't apply to IT department. Good for working woman and open to alternative lifestyles. International/Global opportunities available if you want that.

      Cons

      Organization is too big, and too much red tape and processes. Hard to get anything done. IT department has undergone many changes in recent years and morale is really low and confusion, incompetence and inexperience runs rampant. Due to virtual or :matrixed" teams there is little accountability which also makes it difficult to get things done. Many IT jobs gone and going to India, South America and Atlanta, the new US base. Reviews are a joke. Getting promoted is more about who you know than what you know or have done. Business is overly demanding and expects miracles and is very unhappy when an IT project is late, which everyone should know is almost a certainty to happen, it's the nature of the business especially when you are given unrealistic deadlines from the outset. The business is also a group of firms and partners so you have multiple sponsors and stakeholders and every partner thinks they are the most important and you should bend over backwards for them. If one complains to IT management then heads will roll, IT management will not stick up for you.
