Pros

EY offers a wast array of opportunities and, in general, provides an inclusive team environment. That's what drew me to accept an offer in the first place.

Cons

Comments on Cons always come with the flavor of a disgruntled ex-employee. Therefore, I'm trying to give you the facts and let you decide. EY's annual performance rating is numerical 1 to 5, as in so many other companies. in 2015 I was rated on the high end of the scale , then a re-org happened and I was assigned a new manager. Same role, same responsibility, same internal customers and stakeholders, same teams to support in the EST time zone, just a new manager now 16 hrs ahead in time zones. During the 2016 performance review all feedback from internal customers, stakeholders and partners was positive, every one of them expressed appreciation of the work I delivered. My new manager, however, not so much. All positive feedback was discredited, only her opinion was allowed leading to a below average rating, a forced performance improvement plan without measurable goals and ultimately to my termination from EY. And HR backed the managers decisions all along this process. Questions I raised remained unanswered and facts I presented were not checked nor taken into consideration. So if you are willing to take that chance that a firm allows managers to lead teams dictatorial, that feedback of internal partners and stakeholders is encouraged but can ultimately be ignored and HR allows such managers to bypass company policies and procedures encouraging such leadership style, EY could be the right place for you !

Cons

1. Work-life imbalance during peak audit season. 2. Sluggish and sometimes stagnant learning opportunities. 3. Compensation not at par with the amount of work performed. 4. Gruesome politics by seniors vying to be in the limelight.

Pros

Excellent career opportunities, the chance to study industry recognised qualifications and the high calibre people that I work with

Cons

Salary - Managed Services pay in Newcastle is appalling, with many Associates needing second jobs to survive, and with Executlve level pay below the starting rates for other employers in the region. Staff morale for Associaes and Executives is very low due to the low salary (especially when considering the high charge out rates to clients), with many staff members actively seeking new employment elsewhere. All staff feel that the firm has no interest in retaining its trained people, who are regularly leaving for other firms who pay to the expected industry standard
