Pros

The only pro is being able to expense overtime meals and transportation to your corporate card.

Cons

This company consistently violates HR policies and some labor laws. Employees are treated unfairly (violating company policy) just so the partners can get the work done for their clients. There is almost NO mentoring or coaching. Having someone above you to go to with issues or questions is non-existent. The use of resources in India made Staff and Seniors jobs five times more difficult. Also, almsot all partners and senior managers ask their subordinates to not report all the time they charge to a client to keep their metrics where they want them to be.

Pros

It is one of the Big 4 and a big brand name thats all.The worst work culture I have seen in Canada.

Cons

I am a 31 year old woman who has worked at the Big 5 before.No words to describe the inhumane treatment I was subjected to.I was humiliated at work, belittled every day, mocked and discriminated in spite of giving my hundred percent at work. I worked from 8:30am-7:30 pm. Even the partners were impressed with my work. My associate director(manager) was the one who treated me in this inhumane manner.I was putting up with him, thinking I will apply for a transfer to another team within the organization. On the Monday, I performed my work as usual.The next day I was called by him into a meeting room with the HR seated inside. He said to me "Your service is no longer required at EY" in an absolute blunt manner! I was shocked to the core.I did not have the slightest idea. I had not done anything wrong, no misconduct, I had been toiling away and battling with whatever my manager threw at me and still came to work with a smile each day, only to be asked to vacate the office within 3 minutes.I was humiliated as I was asked to vacate immediately. They took charge of my work email id immediately and wanted to make sure I did not have any of the Partner appreciation emails with me. They disgraced me as a human. The manager put me through gender and racial abuse followed by this abrupt termination.He took the HR into confidence as well to perform this act.The HR is also said to be leaving soon. This man is a menace to society . He has no values ,cold blooded , racist, egoistic man who feels that no one can touch him because of his desgnation .I was told by my co-workers that I was the fourth person to be harrassed and fored this way and the management has been protecting him and allowing him to be part of this big and reputed organisation.Such people spoil the culture and brand name of EY

Pros

The opportunities for you to dig deeper into your passions and talents allows you to impact clients, teams, and internal go-to-market solutions. The people culture is fantastic: very polite, kind and decent. EY encourages leaders to 'lead'. You also can teach classes - which is another way of mentoring and coaching others.

Cons

I work in the FSO (Financial Services Organization) division and as a Senior Manager, EY has an 'up and out' policy. This means if you are not deemed worthy of promotion to Director, Executive Director or Partner/Principal, you will be guided to consider working for a client (if a good position exists for you) or you are free to seek your fortunes elsewhere. The road to promotion takes a few years, and you need a senior partner/principal to sponsor you - meaning he/she has to have deep relationships and credibility. Remember that you are competing with lots of other senior managers. The reality is that there are only so many SM's a partner/principal can sponsor, so it is very competitive. Your earnings need to be significant ( a few $million every year) every year. And you need to be very well utilized (charging clients) as well as plugged into many internal initiatives.
