Work here if you're looking for stress

Pros

You'll learn a lot

Cons

Establish a positive office culture and protect it. Understand that people from various parts of the country apply their country's traditions/beliefs in the office, such as, men are superior to women or women are to be quiet when a man speaks. Only allow English to be spoken in the office. I've learned quite a few swear words in different languages and I would hear them said in the office in that language. You will be stressed out to the maximum on projects that don't even warrant stress. I was on a project where the team was on was forced to ghost hours. We were working well above 50 hours plus weekends and could only report 40 hours. Although this was before we were granted over time, the additional hours would have benefited our overall utilization. Managers from different offices come in and destroy some of your top employees with their poisonous attitudes, habits, attitudes, and unnecessary pressure. Pay your employees more. You won't find out about the protections you're granted until something terrible happens to you You won't move up fast in the Alpharetta office. Be prepared to be a Staff 2 for years. No work life balance unless you're on the bench

Pros

The brand. It may be good for inexperience people as it looks good on your resume. Cannot think about anything else.

Cons

EY has different cultures in different places or even differemt department. In EY Calgary, Canada, the culture is so bad that the turnover rate for most departments is high enough that you can see people come and go in a span of a few months. The company in general doesnt care about its employees. They treat people like labors and promotes asskissers and politicians. Intellectually stimulating work is rarely handled by junior people yet people's complaint always gets ignored. During the few years of my tenure with them, I always saw really smart, dedicated employees with good heart leaving. Instead, people who are incompetent but very good at office politics and backstabbing/micromanagement get promoted and rewarded. I highly recommend anybody who would like a real career instead of trauma stay away from this firm.

Vision 2020

Pros

It use to be a great firm to work for, now it's getting in and wondering if it's your last day.

Cons

Vision 2020 is hurting the firm. The firm is laying off, outsourcing, and cutting expenses. People are in fear of losing their jobs. Moral is down and it feels that people from the top are in it for themselves. Richer getting richer and the lower half get screwed.
