Ernst & Young Kolkata Reviews

Likes

Just 10% annual salary hike

Dislikes

Everything is negative here, boot-licking culture. Client is always right even they say that a man have 5 legs, EY upper management will agree on that. No support for their employees.

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

Just the initial salary hike. Everything else was super toxic. Even the initial salary hike was compensated by pathetic appraisals and low salary hike in the next 2 years.

Dislikes

Everything. Specially the lack of empathy amongst the so called leaders. The partners here are baniyas only wanting to expand business

Not the best organisation in terms of work ethics because nobody follows the policy here at all. But good thing about that is company is understandable. Leaves, compensation and other benefits are of 0 worries

Dislikes

Worst part is the work life balance. You either have 100% work work work with 0% personal life. Or you resign and enjoy your break.

Likes

The management is relaxed in terms of granting the leaves even if it is unplanned. No one disturbs during off time and after office hours. People are around to provide helping hand whenever stuck. Hikes and bonus is better than most companies around.

Dislikes

Lesser projects with better technologies and lesser growth opportunities in terms of tech stack. Many legacy applications are still operative which requires people to work on legacy technologies.

Likes

Opportunity to learn new things

Dislikes

Management doesn't know the real worth of their employees. Focuses only on people who stay close to top level by licking foot. They lie on face not to retain valuable employees just because that are not close to top level management

It’s a Big 4. Apart from that everything else is a terrible mess.

Dislikes

All managers, senior managers and Partners that I had the chance to work with are terrible people. They will make you work 16-18 hours everyday including some days over weekends and public holidays. They don’t appreciate smart work, instead they do lot of micromanaging and will call you off hours. Overall, terrible work culture and poor management in the Data and Analytics practice. I will not recommend anyone to join, as this is a hire and fire company....Read More
