EY reviews

There are too many too count but I will just saw a few 1. You are not working with smart people. There are some so many people that fall through the cracks and that is across the whole organization. If you've ever dealt with a difficult IT person. Multiply the pain you feel by 10 and you'll start to get into EY territory 2. The work sucks. I'm on the consulting side (Financial Services Office) and it's just awful implementation work. Have fun being a glorified PMO. 3. Everything that EY builds is crap. They tout their digital presence and have started to buy some smaller digital firms but they can't even get their own infrastructure to work and make sense. Honestly, people at the top have no idea what they're doing. They are used car salesman with a fancy title. THAT IS ALL 4. Have fun getting peanuts as a bonus. Salary is fine but still doesn't compete with Industry or smaller firms where your pay is actually tied to performance. MY ADVICE TO ALL CANDIDATES CONSIDERING EY IS THIS: TURN AROUND NOW. DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH THIS GARBAGE FIRM

Advisory is broken out into the Performance Improvement (PI) and Risk. Risk primarily performs audit support work (IT risk, or financial risk management) and other risk-related engagements (internal audit, FRM). Audit support work, much like audit work, gets mundane and repetitive really quick; not to mention the unforgiving long hours it can take during "busy seasons." If you are in Risk, there is little to no opportunity (although not impossible) to work on PI engagements as you go up the ladder (i.e. experienced Senior, Manager, and above). If you're in non-FRM Risk (i.e. ITRA and Internal Audit), I would encourage you to leave the firm, as there are much greener pastures elsewhere; even at the Senior Manager and Partner level.
