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

There is nothing positive that seems to be good in EY.

Dislikes

- There is no proper training or support from seniors or managers. - Setting high end goals from day 1 - Not respecting the personal space - Be aware of the pay as they offer less than the promised one in the offer letter - There is no proper HR support to raise the concern - IT helpdesk is really useless as majority of them is unaware of things. Still they are at 1980s technology. - Toxic work culture - No work life balance - Step away from EY for a peaceful life...Read More

To be honest it really depends on the department you get into. EY GDS gives a great opportunity to learn and upskill constantly with reasonable hike and other benefits. Some employees also get the chance to travel around the world as per the job reqiurement hence you do get a great exposure. The company is great for a fresher or a mid-level senior employee. Benefits: * Reasonable salary and hike * Upskilling opportunity * Exposure to real world business setup * Health insurance * Team Outing is amazing * Hybrid work culture * Flexible working hours * Leaves * Other benefits: great discounts on huge brands - Sterlin Hotels, Forest Essentials, Free Cult membership, Kalyan Jewellers....Read More

Dislikes

Extremely hectic working hours. One might have to work for 18 hours a day. No diversity in management. The managers only hire based on language and mainly their relatives. Employees get promoted without any leadership skillset.

Decent salary

Dislikes

Worked as a part of EY wavespace environment was beyond pressurizing. Was hired as a process facilitator and was asked to do the sales aspect as well. The working hours are flexible and so you are expected to be available always and the average hour of working per day would be 11- 12 hours. There is a religious groupism within the team which includes people from the higher levels, and other team members are treated in a horrible way. The actual time we work on a project would be 15-16 hours and we will be allowed to charge only 11 hours. This causes billability and utilization issues for which we will be blamed later on. I was put on PIP and was asked to take care of sales aspect, which means we need to find out our own projects and reach the target number given within a short period. I was indirectly forced to resign by my Manager and the Director of EY wavespace. The Manager would blame us for no reason and our work never gets appreciated. Have never worked in such a team before. I would never recommend this department if someone is looking for a peaceful job....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

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

I am rating the company in terms of my experience and considering all other colleagues' opinion who work in Client Technology as Business Analyst / Technical Product Manager. The Client Technology is lacking transparency and favoritism strongly prevail during annual review process. If you are a blue-eyed boy of someone, you will getgood year-end rating which will be considered for your monetary benefits and career progressions. Even if you raise your voice, it is of no use, because there is no one to support you from the Leadership or Talent teams....Read More

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

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

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.

Dislikes

There is no work life balance and seniors and managers are very unsupportive, always terget the colleagues. Internal politics are the major part of the EY. All the employees who working 10years continually they treat ourselves as the CEO of this company. Overall I do not recommend anyone to working with this organisation. Especially EY GDS Gurgaon based location.

EY GDS is not what I was used to be prior covid. Many things have changed, too much internal politics, Team size have gone big which is impacting the overall culture and people have come up with their own ways to woo the higher managers/leadership and get a floor visibility. So its a harsh truth but yes its a fact.

Dislikes

People who are working here for more than 12-15 years have now moved to a leadership position. Now all they themselves are interested in pursuing their own hobbies (oustside work e.g. Yogam Travelling, Blogging, Youtube, etc) and expect juniors to work 24x7
