It’s a sinking ship

Pros

Please join, if being shamed , ridiculed and frequent overtime sounds like a great idea

Cons

Whatever prestige this company has is fully diminished after the pandemic. Big on hiring FTs , which a good number of them are great with placating the managers and doing “ directive” managing without putting in any actual . Great place to be if you enjoy being the target of attack for Chinese and Malaysian National hires . Management places unrealistic expectations on seniors and junior staff . Quick to push and ready to get on the blame game to get their own skin out of trouble. With the high turnover of middle management , a good 75% of them have close to 0 idea what they are doing on audits. Again, quick to blame the staff. Expects audits with potential fraud to be carried out with the same satisfactory results as a regular pte ltd co . Staff also faulted for not being able to navigate through complex accounting issues without guidance , issues are thrown at staff spontaneously and expected to be solved without a peep. Expected to work on annual leave and days off , can go sleepless for a few days. Faulted for getting hospitalised and sick, accused of feigning hospitalisation slips to get out of work. Situation snowballs once anyone department finds out you are in a bad state, people there are like vultures , they choose to kick people who are down and gossip on a whim. Advocates for “ staff wellbeing” but opts for underhanded means of driving staff away but cutting bonus payouts and pay without legitimate reason. Performance review process is selective and not homogeneous across all employees. Staff have 0 way to protect themselves, everything is based on seniority , rank and file. Promotion is based on curried favour with a manager rather then actual proficiency of work

Pros

Multi-varied experience, Some good leaders

Cons

Besides abysmally poor work life balance, you have to work as a clerk, lawyer, quality assurance executive, contract manager before you start working on what you exactly know and bring as a skill onto the table. Besides, there is no parking space for 2 wheeler or 4 wheeler if you come after 10:15 am , gotta pay n park. Even when you find a space to park , you surely wouldnt find a place to sit and even if you manage both, you surely will not find place to sit and have lunch .

Pros

1. Opportunities to work on strategic projects. 2. There are nice people and mentors in the organisation . 3. Office is in a good location.

Cons

1. EY Consulting is a glorified staffing agency, therefore they don’t care about your career aspirations. Leadership’s sole priority is that you’re charged to a client project, which will result in a high margin. 2. Burn out - you will be asked to carry out a lot work (i.e tender responses) in addition to your client work. Leadership are content in harming staff’s mental health, so that they can maximize their equity pay outs. Despite all the extra effort, late nights and weekend work, you don’t receive any meaningful financial appreciation for this. “Exposure” and emails saying “thank you” do not pay the bills! 3. High turnover rate - every month people are made aware of some the smartest people in the organisation moving onto different jobs. 4. Pay - Compensation is sub par compared to the market rate, which is evidenced by the fact quality people are leaving for roles paying considerably more money. 5. Toxic culture - you’ll come across colleagues who will try to “one up” you. This environment is toxic.
