Good hikes and bonus with changes of working on upcoming and trending technologies, which again would depend on the kind of project you are alloted with. Flexible working is a plus.

Their is nothing to like about they make you work for over 10-12 hrs a day without any recognition

The culture is very toxic with office politics always taking first place. Even if you outperform your peers you will not get appraisal or bonus because office politics may not allow it

...nd after office hours. People are around to provide helping hand whenever stuck. Hikes and bonus is better than most companies around.

Lesser projects with better technologies and lesser growth opportunities in terms of tech stack. Many legacy applications are still operative which requires people to work on legacy technologies.

...hout any compensation. Even if you are working whole night you are expected to be in office at 9:30/10 am the other morning and this happens regularly. Too much politics, people who don't involve in politics or don't do buttering of managers don't get growth here. Management is just too biased. Very inhuman culture of first setting too high expectations from any resource and calling it competitive culture. A 3 yr old experience resource is expected to take care of the whole project. Don't give any team lunch or any fun activities....It solely depends on partner and EY doesn't care if your partner is not good. Even female employees are asked to work from office if there is any exceptional requirement and there is no one to ensure safety apart from just the security guard. Your manager just needs the work done. Taking leaves is almost a dream. They say you can take year end leaves but technical teams don't get those leaves too. It does not leave you with any time to give it to family. If you are deployed on client sides in different cities then you are supposed to come back on friday late night and reach to the client side on Monday morning be it any city in India ... You don't even get time to wash your clothes or eat properly because they don't reimburse laundry for younger resources and give very less money to get reimbursed for food. I was assigned budget of 400 rs per day by my Partner saying that the client doesn't allow more than this. It's a horrible place to be at. Everything written on linkedin in past few year about EY is infact 50% less .... It is more horrible than what is written there.
