Pros

1. Opportunities to work on strategic projects. 2. There are nice people and mentors in the organisation . 3. Office is in a good location.

Cons

1. EY Consulting is a glorified staffing agency, therefore they don’t care about your career aspirations. Leadership’s sole priority is that you’re charged to a client project, which will result in a high margin. 2. Burn out - you will be asked to carry out a lot work (i.e tender responses) in addition to your client work. Leadership are content in harming staff’s mental health, so that they can maximize their equity pay outs. Despite all the extra effort, late nights and weekend work, you don’t receive any meaningful financial appreciation for this. “Exposure” and emails saying “thank you” do not pay the bills! 3. High turnover rate - every month people are made aware of some the smartest people in the organisation moving onto different jobs. 4. Pay - Compensation is sub par compared to the market rate, which is evidenced by the fact quality people are leaving for roles paying considerably more money. 5. Toxic culture - you’ll come across colleagues who will try to “one up” you. This environment is toxic.

Pros

No pros, really no pros

Cons

Notorious working environment in Greece, the definition of toxic workplace. Low salaries, overload of tasks considering that you will never sleep again, extremelly toxic enviroment. So bad this workplace that people face anxiety disorders at work. It is full with juniors and interns. The percentage of employees above 30 is less than 5%. It is normally a place for juniors that join after college for 1st job where they stay at maximum 2 years and they jump over to forget all about it. It is the closest thing to a mining workplace we have today in Greece. Unfortuantelly EY is the only one among big4 that has such an awfull working environment that they marketize as "culture". I had been warn before joining that there is one only characteristic that someone has to have to join EY, and this is to be really bad person. Unfortunatelly i didnt listen and I see it by myself. There are very few nice people. Unfortunatelly the company supports and caltivates antagonism among empolyees for personal gain and it is impossible to get along with your colleagues.... Really, really bad workplace.

Pros

Any job after EY will probably feel amazing - this is the lowest you can get

Cons

Where to begin?! 1. Toxic culture led by management who seem to do nothing but blame others. 2. No real growth opportunities 3. You'll work with some of the most incompetent & useless people you could imagine, especially if they come from GDS. 4. Insane policies & bureaucracy (yes every corp has them but EY have gone the extra mile here) 5. You'll need to worship a partner to get anywhere - it's who you know, not what you know. 6. CT is an absolute mess for anyone who is talented & has potential. 7. Compensation is lower than what you could get elsewhere.
