EY Global Delivery Services ( EY GDS) Associate Architect Reviews

Nothing

Dislikes

Everything is based on project. If project is good and always sending appreciation then good else you will end up losing the variable pay and increment. Worst thing is flat hierarchy, you never know whom to contact for any purpose. Headache - competency, if on bench ..nightmare.. anytime you can receive mail asking to leave.. assessment one after another..

While being employed during my time at 2023 year to 2024 year it was a good experience but the learning modules set and performance to be met was set at a high level for me which was not being met. That can be found by the company records.

Dislikes

Certain people being HR's still not very prominent. Knowing the difference between certain cultures and disparity but many people i did interact with on a physical look basis and physical hand to hand friendly greeting.

If you are lucky enough to be part of the right team, you'll have good work life balance and a good team culture where you'll at least not be absolutely terrified of Mondays and drag through your week for the weekend. The leave policy was good while I was working at EYGBS. My team and team culture was devoid of toxic politics and I had the opportunity to decide what I want to do.

Dislikes

EY GBS job descriptions are basically shopping wish lists. Once you enter the role you'll figure nobody actually has a single skill mentioned in the JD also, the actual job is far from what the initial expectation was. The hiring process is a nightmare, salary is miniscule, almost every function has absolute chernobyl level toxicity, leaders favour their own people. Talent is colluded with head hunters for hiring and you'll get zero results on applying directly to career page. I was a part of an internal support team and had access to data and people from various functions in EY GBS. Apart from the fact that there is absolutely no clarity to ANYONE what they are doing, if you are a yapper you might succeed but in an incompetent space such as EY GBS, your likeability is your biggest asset, since there is no real work that gets done here....Read More

Stability, assurance, a party mood, paying in pennies, long working hours, booze, being wasted, and no upskilling. In short, it's like the life of a person who got their first job all party mood, but low salary, leading to a happy life with stability.

Dislikes

No learning and growth, have to butter the seniors, low salary, hell for introverts. But but you will really enjoy the culture here, company spends a lot here for team bonding activities

Great opportunities to learn, No micromanagement, Excellent work culture, Direct exposure with client

Dislikes

The exposure and value of people depend somewhat on the location they are in. Does not mass recruit. So projects are always understaffed. So work pressure is more.

Dislikes

Worst HR support. Most of the time no reply from HR support team for the requests that we raise. Worst policies- for reimbursement they will not accept screenshots from their own approved Qwikcafe app for EY cafeterias as they don’t provide tax invoices. One of colleague is in notice period. For him the HR team said he can’t take any leave during notice period, only medical leave is allowed for that prescription needs to be submitted. No additional parks and benefits. If you are in a good team then life will be easy else most of the team culture is worst....Read More

EY GDS as an organisation is really great. There are multiple programs that can help one achieve satisfaction beyond work related aspects. Most often people once they are hired are given choices to move to other teams even if they are performing not so well. Skills improvement is an aspect that is definitely ingrained.

Dislikes

Depending on who one works with (Principal, Partner, Executive Director, Director) the work life balance can be okay or fully messed up. Promotions are infrequent and happen only when a person is critically important and threatens to move out. Politics is an interesting aspect that one learns in a Big 4 set-up.

Ample of projects to work and lot of scope to learn and work with multiple technologies

Dislikes

1. Worst work culture. 2. Lot of partiality, they have office in Bangalore for name sake. 80% to 90% Promotions will be for Noida people. Only 10% - 20% from Bangalore. Even though candidates are worthy they still promote Noida Employees rather than promoting Bangalore Candidates. Most of the leadership sits in Noida. 3. For communication they mostly use Hindi then secondary would be English. Even it 10 or 200 members connect/forum, they still discuss in Hindi. They don’t bother that you understand or not 4. HR are also for Name sake, if you complain on any of higher management they will discuss internally with them and target that person and also HRs are very Hard to reach. 5. Micro Management 6. You will fed up with filling more than 3 timesheets every single day. 7. There are no procedures for any thing, etc.. my list will go on. But this is more than enough. My suggestion is, if you were to join EY GDS. Then join in Noida, otherwise don’t. Also keep in mind you should know Hindi....Read More

Exposure to complex returns and working with US team. EY will provide to strong learning platform. Specially Tax - Very good exposure to US taxation. Flexible working hours and zero micromanagement. If you're ready to compromise money over learning, EY is better option

Dislikes

Salary is very very low compared to industry. Need to work minimum 60 hrs a week during busy seasons ( also on Sunday for last 3-4 weeks of busy seasons) I think the scheduling [ 1200 to 1500 hrs per annum ] North- south divide and also favoritism

Dislikes

Employee engagement. Their employee satisfaction reviews seems fake and manipulative, mostly. The Partner won’t let you spend the budget to your team member and it’s their tendency to put themselves in limelight that he is the sole owner of your life. He will preach all the good things like engage with your team and all but you cannot buy lunch even if you have budget and then they will have this spent in last month are utilise for their travelling giving the name of business meet Office Politics (I would say it is everywhere but it’s pre dominant if you are based out other location and your Boss belongs to especially from Kerala location though they won’t agree but they are real RACIST and staunch supporter of favouritism....Read More

Work life balance varies on team to team basis. Good at Job Security. I had seen people working more than 15+ years.

Dislikes

Work life balance never happens in some teams, If you are working in as per roster they will say monthly your shift rotates but for boys will be in continuous Night Shifts. Till we ask for a morning shift they won't make it that easy will mention people shortage make sure don't fall in that trap say that clearly won't be able to work in night shifts continuously. And no one thinks since you worked night shifts last month lets move him to morning this month. I had seen one if my collogues worked 6 months continuously in night shift (9PM to 6AM). Make a note no take care of our health....Read More

I don't like the so much dirty politics of manager sitting on senior manager position. They are so pathetic never encouraged, appreciate hard working deserving employees.

Dislikes

I really don't like involvement of QA senior manager in year end discussion, when they don't really involve through the year any discussion with employees. They never engaged with employees just for rating discussion they are included which is really not good. Only people working in Project should be involved in year end discussion.I don't like the work culture. They always treat you like labour. No respect....Read More

Dislikes

Pathetic culture of promoting people based on tenure. No matter how hard people work and the quality of work, you get promotion only based on tenure and sycophancy. No work life balance Gender pay disparity Leadership are only there to pretend to be on calls and barely have any idea about what the team is doing. Can't even close open positions on time. The HR and hiring managers are pathetic at hiring people with the right skill set...Read More

I have worked with EY for approximately 5 years and felt at comfort with few managers since they were very cooperative and understanding. The company promotes culture of flexible working hours in some teams.

Dislikes

1. Undue work pressure in non busy seasons and not letting charge time 2. Huge politics during promotions and increment cycle end. 3. Mental pressure due to unrealistic deadlines. 4. Leadership misuses their power to shut down employees raising voices against malpractices. 5. EY GDS not always following global audit guidelines.
