Pros

Brand that comes with working for EY

Cons

Toxic culture. People back stabbing and only trying to save themselves. No real growth. Loads of work. Normal day finishes by 11pm but still one will never get recognition as it is expected from the employee. No time for training despite the lip service of company that says it gives 5 days to employees to train themselves. Very easily lays off employee without thinking about employees in any form. Lay off is done by Partner with no presence of HR. Please avoid working for EY

Pros

Whenever somebody asks me an advantage of working in EY the only thing I say is the salary. They pay you well as compared to their peers only if you are good at negotiation. Other than this check my list of Cons.

Cons

EY is a service-based organization therefore it has many Cons. Some of them are: 1. Senior managers/leaders are good at doing dirty politics. All of them have been working in EY for the last 15+ years therefore they know each and everybody. As a result, they have created a monopoly in the workspace and will promote you only if you have a "Yes Sir" attitude. 2. Long working hours even if you are working on a client engagement your manager will be asking you to work on an organizational project to show your proactiveness. If you don't work your appraisal and variable pay would be impacted. 3. EY charge more than their peers therefore most of the client engagements are short-term because client don't want to spend that much amount of money. Due to this, you will be moving around different projects. 4. Managers have unrealistic expectations, even if you are from a technical background they will not hesitate to ask you to get some business to the organization. 5. Even though they glamorize that they are keeping their employees up to date by asking them to do certifications and courses that is of no use because if you are working in a client engagement you still be working with an obsolete technology. And if you are working on an EY project your life will be hell. In both ways, you have to suffer.
