Ernst & Young Consultant salaries in Chennai (Updated 2025)

Likes

Pay scale can be negotiated based on your skills and you can earn almost double with respect to your peers who are at the same level

Dislikes

No logic for allocating resources. Non technical people are showcased as technical experts and have no idea how to deliver projects. Projects were handled very poorly in our team and as a result many clients were lost. But they keep winning projects because of highly competitive bids and thus resources ar overburdened, always

There is nothing to like about this company. If you have an offer from another company even with a low package just go for that option and never come to EY

Dislikes

Everything. Team culture. Office politics at its worst. People who licks directors and partners shoes move up the ladder. Visibility is the key here, no matter how much hard work you do but if you don't get any new business or you don't get any client appreciation you will never be recognised. Save your life never join EY India. They treat employees like shit. Threaten employees on the floor in front of everyone. Never seen such culture. No new technology to learn, old projects and trainings to grow your career.

Likes

Good place to expose yourself to various technologies. Ideal for first job

Dislikes

Learning gets stagnant after a while Can expect politics based on the team Growth in compensation and benefits slow down after 2 - 3 years

Likes

None if you are on bench (for reasons outside your control like your resume not getting selected for client interviews)

Dislikes

EY uses PIP as a tool to fire people. If you are on bench, they will not give you any hike(0%), no bonus, and then put you on PIP when you complain. Once on PIP they will slowly start pressurizing you to resign on your own. This is how EY gets rid of its employees without making it look like they are "laying off"
