EY Global Delivery Services ( EY GDS) Bangalore / Bengaluru Reviews

Likes

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

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

- On learning side, learn whatever you want. - Brand Name (Although internal people itself don't respect) - Big exposure to enterprise level clients (But useless, as of poor leadership and political, insecure people) - EY as a brand is the best, but internal managers and leadership is itself chewing EY's real value, as per legal rights in india no one can do job and own a business, but managers stole ideas from team then invest in idea and running businesses side by side, on other hand team who don't know anything, steal ideas from other member and get fav of their managers. Monopoly and insecurity is teams goals and achievements year by year. - Also managers showing expertise in HCI, actually sell ideas and innovation illegally to HCI, every year forcing people of team by other fav team members to join HCI conference on personal basis but working on ideas from EY's systems then submitting them too from EY systems later sell ideas from whatsApp groups teams makes....Read More

Dislikes

- Insecure leadership and senior level professionals - Silent harassments at every level if you don't be favorite of seniors and leadership - Fake expertise - Worst culture - Non-Visionary leadership & management - If EY's partners level people are un-biased and focus on true leadership, fake management can be removed and EY can achieve greater business value, which is being used for personal matters. (My 5 Ideas got sold by management for greater money value instead of working on them in EY, still we can't report for our job safety because everyone is silently makes joint profits) - Micro management by team members to be in the fav list of managers/SM/ED's, where they itself on side coin insults those managers, Better Advice: Come to office sit quietly, work and leave. - Policy of no tolerance on wrong, still SM's itself guide in calls to help in clearing internal exams and help seniors in their projects, if u want project from that SM. - Promotions & better financial health are only for fav people of M/SM/ED's, even they don't get compliant every year, stating they're senior's and are experts & even training for financial savings is only given to Seniors and above from partners. - M/SM/Ed's only bring projects for their favorites. - Forcing complaint in certifications every year from team side is always for Staffs ONLY neither seniors, nor M/SM/ED's....Read More

Infact Nothing, due to personal commitments staying here.

Dislikes

Supporting senior level and above due to maintain the bossissm on junior level. Bucketing for higher managers for promotion and other benifits, while leaving the company the employees used to give feedback but HR team won't consider instead support with respective team managers only. No one will care about employees personal life just name sake they will take care of your personal life and let us know if required any help....Read More

I feel very fortunate to work with EY, especially during times when other companies are laying off the employees. EY has taken care of its employees in every aspect. I hope it continues to do so in future.

Dislikes

The salary is very low when compared to other competitors, but in teams, like mine, where I work at any time and also where I work more than 12 hours days, we expect and desire more than just a same salary. Even till now we maintain full productivity. However there’s a lot of office politics, which sometimes are unbearable. I have worked with other teams where EY culture is more evident, but it doesn’t seems to apply to my team. They are much focused on work hours if we fail to reach the target then there is no difference between those who under perform vs those who miss by 1 or 2 percentage. Also if by automation, may chance to less work they won’t considered this factors while giving appraisals they have to concentrate on work hours and this is bitter truth for MNC’s....Read More
