Ernst & Young Article Trainee Reviews

Likes

The work environment at EY is really good. The working policy is flexible. Along with work there are social events, team building activities and a good leave policy which really enhance the working experience at EY.

Dislikes

Though there is flexibility in working hours, during interim and busy seasons it is expected to work for 11-12 working hours which is quite stressful. Your better working experience will also be dependent on the team that you get aligned to.

Nothing.

Dislikes

Work-life balance: There is none. Additionally, get ready to have your private space invaded. Skill development: None to offer whatsoever. Redundant work with close to nothing in terms of improvement. Salary: Pays well. But not enough and nothing is enough to completely dismantle your work-life balance and your private life as well.Company culture: Worst. Plagued with internal politics and favouritism. Kolkata branch especially has deep-rooted nepotism so do make friends with the ones who have familiar connections with the top brass (If you're an unfortunate employee in the Kolkata branch). Job security: Officially EY doesn't believe in the hire-and-fire culture as communicated quite vocally by the HRs, but unofficially and as the truth is about them, if you get on the wrong footing with the seniors, they will make it a personal mission to see you're thrown out of the company. Promotions: Be on the good books of the nepo colleagues and they will have a good word for you with the higher management (their relatives) and viola! You have been promoted! Or, get on their bad books and see yourself getting thrown out the next year or so. Yes, work isn't a qualifying metric for promotions, sadly. Work satisfaction: If you are up for redundant work and looking for a place to exclusively retire yourself having done all the improvements and upskilling that you could in your entire career and finally said to yourself it's time to hang up the boots but still need a moderate source of income, then this is the right place for you to be and you'd be satisfied by how stagnant and redundant the work here is. A great and stable close-to-retirement work-life which competes with the likes of working at TCS....Read More

There is no work life balance which should be there I firmly believe since working for 12-13 hrs everyday hampers the productivity of a person

The manager was very supportive and the work life balance was good.

Dislikes

The unnecessary pressure to work from office and the unsupportive rude behaviour of the HR. There was nothing given above and beyond the salary not even box of sweets on small occasions. All the team outings and activities were self sponsored.

Dislikes

Workplace harassment and workplace discrimination is rampant. Indian managers in US at this company are bullies and bring their countries’s interstate bias to the US. Very pathetic personalities. They create social class bias within people and trigger everyone’s emotions and impact everyone’s mental health. Only knowledge they have is books and degrees and no human knowledge. They are insecure and respect hungry....Read More

I don't understand their FTE conecpt, most of the Employees in Govt Advisory are hired on FTE basis and even though most of them do BDEV along with project they are not part of company bonus. Any one who has been working on multiple things should be part of company bonus as per my view. To convert to on roll from FTE is still shady and many people don't know how to get it done

Big Name,

Dislikes

1. This is big firm but having multiple small teams which makes a full big organization, so ultimately you will be working under one partner & size of the team would be 50-100 so, it's similar to startup company, 2. You will feel lot of micromanagements. 3. there will be No guarantee for your job, any time they can say you TATA, Bye-Bye. 4. Chargeability concept is very bad, even after working 8 hours you might have to show that you did nothing. 5. People have made so much hype about it, here they will doing the copy & paste from one report to other. 6. Politics is on different level....Read More

Work life balance completely depends on your client. Learning materials are good. Not much interference from EY TEAM as you will hve limited interaction with them ,mostly with clients.

Dislikes

-Noone cares about your performance , they give generic hike (7-10%) to all. -End to end projects are less. - THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR SKILL SET, THEY WILL MAKE YOU DO WORK IRRESPECTIVE TO YOUR SKILL SET AND PAST WORK EXPERIENCE. -Small bits and pieces projects. - Career growth beyond senior consultant is based on favouritism and they expect you to do the work of pre sales and sales team and connect with big shots and bring in new clients to become manager and beyond....Read More
