EY reviews

- Management has absolutely no respect whatsoever for employees - Management treat employees who are in their thirties and forties like 5-year old children - You may have to do really stupid tasks like get your boss's lunch or throw away your boss's trash just because he thinks he's above it, and even though you have Master's degrees and years of experience - Management often falsely accuse staff and employees of things that they did not do - The promotion goes to the coworker who goes out for 2-hour or 3-hour lunches, and you may not get one even though you work like a dog and skip meals to satisfy your boss - Most supervisors are micromanagers and do not let you work peacefully after administering your work - Managers are often dishonest in terms of chargeability, and will screw clients by charging them even though the employees are only "pretending" to do work or "looking busy," and this is especially done by senior/managers and above, only Staff actually do work at this firm, without getting any credit for it - A whole novel can be written about bad points of working at this seemingly great firm, don't come here just because of the name because it's equivalent to misjudging a book by its cover

I have a successful City background and enjoy a fast paced working environment, but have never worked anywhere as unbearable as London EY. Miserable auditors, miserable consultants, miserable support staff. 1. High pressure environment with low leadership accountability allows unchecked bullying, breeding high turnover. 2. Promotion is held out like a carrot but rarely granted. Senior staff take credit for the work of juniors. 3. Staff are given work that does not bear any relation to the role they were recruited for, or even their skill set - you are simply a 'body'. 4. A 90% team turnover in a year is a good indicator of dysfunctional leadership, yet HR do not take any visible action. 5. Many of the EY awards seem to be PR jobs as they bear little relation to the actual working conditions e.g. Times 'top 100' employer award and MAKE award for knowledge management.
