Pros

Good to get EY on the CV EY will get you through your exams (get out once qualified!) Good internal prospects

Cons

50 hour weeks are the norm all year round, especially at senior grade Nobody cares about you as long as the work is done The "high performers" are basically the people who work constantly (by that I mean literally every evening and weekend) High turnover

Pros

Big four firm Globally recognized brand That's it

Cons

Poor Leadership Poor HR Laughable pay Poor infrastructure Poor project management Honestly, it's like no one knows what is happening in the company. I think global should take back their name, EY Kenya is just another Njoroge and Sons.

Pros

As in any office environment you will meet great people. If your objective is to learn, you will find how/what and people who can help to develop/advance your skills. With a bit of effort of finding good reasons and mentors you can learn a great deal and get exposed to multitude of practices/industries. Variety is truly abundant, but you have to hunt for it despite every team being understaffed - nothing will be presented on s silver platter.

Cons

Leadership is nonexistent. PPD are rarely present and have little interest in their people. High turnover for managers and seniors. No staff. Little to none outsourcing support. If you are a manager/senior you will do jobs of at least 4 people in addition to training armies of interns. You will hear "open door" policy a lot, but God forbid you will mention anything negative. No one wants to hear the truth. Promotions are based solely on personal friendships. Thus, top heavy firm with no recognition for lower ranks. Bonuses are a joke.
