Ernst & Young IT Consultant 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

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.

A positive aspect of work-life balance is having Saturdays and Sundays off, along with the timely crediting of salaries. The provided Udemy access is a helpful training resource; however, the rest of the training seems unnecessarily burdensome.

Dislikes

The job lacks security, with manipulative management, no perks, promotions, or appraisals beyond basic salary. The company culture favors power over merit, making survival difficult without influence.

Hardly anything good other than office parties, huddles and hybrid working model. Job security is there just because they won't easily fire you as even they know that won't be able to get a replacement as good as you in that petty budget.

Dislikes

Too much of internal politics, linguistic & regional favoritism and division in between teammates and sub teams. Hardly any good appraisals either. Overtime is highly normalized, expecting you be available 24x7 for them.

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
