I have been a part of EY GDS strategy and transactions, pursuits, tagged to FSO sector. Things that I would like to highlight about the company and the team are 1. bad work life balance 2. Culture of micro management 3. Leadership is not open to views from the junior level (Managers and below) 4. The team structure is vertical in nature with almost equal number of managers, associate managers, assistant managers, senior analysts, etc. The managers in the team usually engage in politics for a struggle to attain power. 5. Nobody is really helpful in the team, be it at your counselor or your buddy. 6. People are usually over competitive and don't share useful info with new joiners or fellow colleagues. There is a constant fight between BCM, WAM and Insurance 7. Since the managers do not have ample performance management responsibilities or fresh work, so they usually try to downgrade and bad mouth juniors to prove their supremacy 8. The leadership Ridhima Sudan (FSO) and Feroz Kudroli (Pursuits) are just focused on achieving business goals without even an ounce of empathy. Not at all bothered about employee welfare. The resource should be working, even if it is from the hospital bed. 9. Login at 8 am with logout around 8 pm. 9 hours on timesheet and 12 hours in reality

Good Pay package for lateral hire but incteaments are not that competitive. You will get a big4 brand name.

Dislikes

...ation or office everyday. h. Clear picture is not depicted during interview. i. 3 months notice period and they will hold your last salary in notice period. j. Minimum or only mandatory sanitization post covid in office. k. Per contract there are 5 working days but informally you have to work all 7 days. Worst part is senior management supports this practice and it becomes part of their culture... All above points are for EY India practice GVT office. Don't know about gds or other locations.

Made some really good friends. The company provides courses/trainings for self development - they are really helpful. Work from home started from early March.

Dislikes

...they don't give proper feedback. They wait for year-end to highlight your flaws. If you work with an operations team, standard bonus is 3-5%, irrespective of how hard you work in a year. They expect you to be on your toes always - even on Sundays and public holidays.

The company policies relating to work from home, flexibility.

Dislikes

...onest employees in despair. Expectations from employees is too much unrealistic. The compensation structure is demoralising.
