EY reviews

This company is the worst I have ever worked for. The training is extremely deficient, the culture is aggressive and leadership and seniors feed on being mean to staff. They actually applaud and tolerate it. Even if you complain, expect reprimands for complaining about mistreatment. Some teams are better than other but overall this is the worse company. Some ethnic groups are racist and group up to bully other, extremely rude with lower ranks but very complacent to upper levels.

KPI and engagement margins are important but the gap between booked hours and actual workload is too big. Getting less than a week on a finals engagement and expected to handle it till FS stage is unrealistic. Resource managers just place you in without consideration, and overtime is expected without any recognition or extra pay. Seniors end up doing 2-3 jobs at the same time. The audit process is over the top, with numerous standard working papers, new forms and IT documents added but no extra time or resources to get it done. When you are only getting 2-3 hours of sleep, it’s almost impossible to function properly, let alone focus and pick up on errors during an audit. You just end up rushing through things and ticking off checkboxes. Weekends are often burned for most months if you are on the different cycles of peak jobs, leaving little room for recovery or personal time. Lastly, removing bonuses for associates is demotivating. It leaves seniors to do most of the work while associates just check out from the engagements. The increment for seniors is also not substantial compared to associates. (100-200]
