      Pros

      I'm a boomerang, an established name we have for EY employees who leave and come back. The people here are, with few exceptions, fantastic. Smart, collaborative, helpful, kind. They, and the possibility to grow my career in the direction I wanted, are what brought me back to EY after leaving for a year. The workplace flexibility is amazing. Not being on the client-side of things (I work in Communications), I've been 100% remote for more than two years; before that 80% remote for 1.5 years. The hours are long, but I can work them in sweatpants if desired and make time to attend school plays as long as the work gets done. That's incredible. Do good work, work hard, and get acknowledged is the reality in my experience. The converse is true as well. But I've found that things are fair here, and that's saying a lot. EY is headed in a very good direction overall. I've proud to work here, though with a bit of a heavy heart I'm on my way out for reasons stated in "Cons" below.

      Cons

      Team reductions in my immediate team and within the department are what's driving many people out, both volitionally and otherwise. Relocating work to an increasing offshore workforce has cost more than one friend their job here. I've found, however, that I'm stuck picking up the slack, and offshore resources are inadequate to cover the jobs they've taken. I'm finding that I'm doing less and less of what I enjoy -- less of what I was hired for, really -- because we're getting leaner and leaner. Pay is not bad, but certainly not up to par with the industry. I've heard this is true from colleagues in other non-client-serving positions. I do not have the career opportunities I seek here anymore. Nor, due to the lean nature of our organization, do I have the possibility to forge my own career path as senior, trusted colleagues have done and advised.

      Pros

      Pros? Really Pros? I have the worst years of my life in EY, I was bullied, constantly criticised, felt I gained very little valuable experience. Horrible place

      Cons

      They work you to absolute bone. Expect to work 60-70+ hours per week. I began to feel sick, I couldn't face the mornings going into EY in Dublin, there was a constant worry hanging over my head.
