Pros

In the beginning, great opportunities to learn Global management and leadership is good Global teams have a good work culture and good employee satisfaction

Cons

The local management at Trivandrum is dumb. Too much politics, the local managers have recruited their relatives and friends and destroyed the work culture in the innovation and Gth teams Only the people in the managers belt get rewards, recognition and promotion in Ey Trivandrum.

Pros

1) Within just a few months, you will feel like you are part of a family, almost, at EY. The people oriented culture is quite possibly the best among the competitors. The diversity is abundant. 2) Exceptional talent around you that will consistently push you out of your comfort zone. But, you will have to be willing, and wanting to, and make yourself heard. 3) The flexibility in operation is neat, especially you are a new parent, you suffer illness, or need to pursue studies, or something's just come up that you need to attend to. 4) The in-house technology you need to use on a day-to-day basis is solid. All of us were like spoiled kids when working in the EY office, especially in New York where the headquarters is in the middle of Times Square. 5) Overall, an incredible place not just to work for several years, but also to get the first five years of your career under your belt if you decide to go work somewhere else to get a different flavor.

Cons

1) Given the headquarters is in New York, the whole practice feels very New York based, and of course SFO based. Other offices, naturally, must feel a little left out of the "club". 2) Depending on what group you are a part of, you will naturally have to deal with some workplace politics, conflicting mutual interests, and bothersome and often questionable decisions by the leadership. 3) While I do not think long hours belong in the cons department anymore, to some, it may. So there it is. You will often work more than 8 hours a day and you will travel for at least 25 to 30 percent a year on average, and this can be a pro for some, like me.

Pros

Great team members. Some applicants who want to join this team are often talented and motivated. The exposure is a bit hit and miss but generally allows for growth and exploration. This is not a structured environment so it's for people who pen their own career storyline. If you want a predictable career, join the audit or tax teams, which also have great people. Don't come here if you are not ambitious as the work demands are high and relentless.

Cons

Bad leadership. This is the reason why I left. Also performance management, staff benefits, and support services really needs some improvement. The current PMDP process is an insult to staff because it is neither meaningful nor transparent; the benefits are quite paltry; and we have bureaucrats and tyrants running finance, administrative services, and HR (these departments go by different names now but they're still the same crappy lousy support).
