Ernst & Young Staff Assistant 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

Awesome company to work. But try to stay away from politics. Some people are easily getting promotion due to close connection with the reporting manager

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

If you enjoy solving complex business problems and working with global clients, EY provides a fulfilling experience. Plenty of training programs, certifications, and mentorship opportunities. Exposure to high-profile clients and projects helps in career growth.

Promotions may take time and depend on various factors beyond performance. Depending on the team and project, work hours can be long, especially during deadlines.

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.

Only thing that is good with EY, is it’s reputation, which is also not correct.

Dislikes

EY is not at all a employee friendly company. Employees have to suffer a lot even for basic information. There is no specified department or person for employees query. Also, they something thing and give something as salary, they try to deduct salary as much as possible. In my case they dis jot inform me abiut certain deduction which was optional and now i cannot get until unless i leave the company....Read More
