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.

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

Very un-structured org. No defined processes. One is made to take up lot of admin work on subjects that they have never done before which deviates from their main KPI. Hence, job satisfaction is zero.

Dislikes

No proper guidance to new comer,team politics and favouritism to an extent. No growth opportunities,even if available no proper guidance. No proper escalation matrix for any dept. No growth avenues, everything depends on the project budget and tenure that you are assigned.so there is always a sense of job layoff.

Likes

Flexible work hours , company ethics , decent salary growth, professionals to work with, opportunities for self development and learning, job security , cross training and development if you wish.

Dislikes

Not much exposure to higher management. Strict compliance and access policies. After a point of time you won't be able to see future path.

You will be assigned some work less manager as your counsellor and she will make unnecessary troubles on top of the work pressure from client. Because she don’t have any work rather than troubling the employees.

Don't Join Financial Risk projects of Indian entity. You will regret why you didn't take the alternative offer. Forget about personal life. Take interviews, prepare resumes for candidates, do your client work. Don't know who from this organisation went to client that guy literally did oversell to client now client is taking full advantage of it and you don't have anyone to complain. HR is not even present here....Read More

The culture in my team (Business Consulting) is good. It’s a hybrid working model and increment and promotion system is good. Work pressure is usually manageable but highly depends on clients too. Overall a good experience!

Dislikes

In case of difficult clients the work culture gets excessively complex and toxic. Learning curve is very limited. There is monotony of work.
