EY reviews

At the Director level and above, everything seemed like they are in it for themselves and there aren't many people that really look after your interests. Too many people that only know how to put a nice presentation together and get the promoted off the back of it but wouldn't really cut it when working in a tough financial services client.

Beware of what you are getting yourself into. I was put on the "bad employee list" and was never told that this was a possibility based on my work. After being put on a performance improvement plan, the firm said they were looking for opportunities to get me new engagements to be staffed on. I had a few partners and a manager say that many people come off a performance improvement plan and have great careers. I never got anything for 3 months, while I was asking many times for something to be staffed on and then they let me go. There are plenty of other firms and places to go get the work experience. I look back at my time and I never had anyone stick up for me or try to be of assistance to me and help me get better. Busy season is a beast and you are at the mercy of what the executives want to do for the client and time in the office. I had several weeks of 60 hours plus and some weeks that were into 70 hours. I had clients who did not want to turn their information to us in a timely manner and so it made the last crunch very difficult.
