EY reviews

Pay outside of London is extremely poor with very minimal increases each year (if you're lucky). Expect virtually nothing for an actual promotion and any profit share is negligible in the grand scheme. Progression is also generally pretty poor as there just isn't enough budget to promote or progress people outside of London. It's really just luck if you want to make it past staff/assistant in any reasonable amount of time. The fastest you can do it is 3 years. Expect to have to then spend atleast 4 years at Senior before getting Manager. Anyone who is ambitious will become very demotivated in this working environment. There is very little you can do to help yourself and senior staff don't seem to show much interest in allowing individuals to develop. They would rather people leave or resign than pay a fair salary. Often don't feel particularly valued by senior staff, can feel like you're just a cog in a big machine. Don't expect to receive much credit for working long hours or taking on extra responsibility. Often you'll be given extra responsibility with no additional pay or recognition towards a progression or promotion.

You are thrown to the wolves right away. Good work is only rewarded with more work. I’d get my work done but it wasn’t good enough if I didn’t work until midnight. Just a toxic place to be.
