Life at EY as an Analyst in the Advisory Service Line
Pros
Good experience of working in a big organization. Learn how to get things done in a complex organization structure. Excellent hands on industry Experience (depends on the team and our immediate senior you work with) You are the face of the firm, you have be responsible and take ownership. You get travel a lot and sometimes absolutely alone, that teaches you a lot in handling life situations.
Cons
The biggest negative is the salary, you are paid peanuts, Getting around 15000 per month is actually very disappointing. Second there is no work life balance at all. You usually are supposed to work for 40 hours a week, but rarely anyone works for only 40 hours, it usually extends to 60-70 hours a week. Officially weekends are off, but its an unsaid rule that Saturdays are working and whenever required you have to spend your Sundays in office only. Some of the seniors treat their subordinates as the Executive Assistants and unload all their operational work (cab bookings, travel ticket bookings, printing jobs), this really frustrates.
