Business Outlook

Pros

- EY GDS is a great organisation for starters - Balance of work life if you are a keralite EYGDS is a good place to settle if you dont want very less of client travels. - Work From Home options/Flexi timings depending on your team - Cab facility - Opportunity to work with big teams Internationally - Learning & Development

Cons

- EY GDS is not a direct client facing organisation - Only few teams has necessary core consulting/end to end audit exposure. Majority are doing offshore activity. - Chances of higher Promotions not that easy, only if you are the blue eyed boy/girl of the management. Highly nepotistic. And it go by the word "visibility". - Lot of Administerial activities for doing simple jobs. - Not exactly all teams enjoy good pay. - Some teams in EYGDS do highly redundant and monotonous jobs.

Pros

The people that you work with will have your back and will work with you on your problems. If you vocalize that you are having problems on a project, management will take the time to go through your responsibilities with you and work to create a plan that will enable you to accomplish your goals and the requirements of the job. The company provides a plethora of benefits and will compensate you well for the work you put in; however, you have to actively pursue these benefits outside of your paycheck.

Cons

The work can get stressful and heavy quickly, especially coming out of college. If you do not speak up and keep open and honest communications with management, you will be left behind and feel like you do not matter to the company, which is not true. You will work long nights and weekends, and the workload will seem like it is unending until you figure out how to manage your life and work. Working at EY requires that you not only manage yourself but also manage your managers because everyone is putting in 50+ hours a week.

Pros

Good work culture. Good working environment. Employee benefits.

Cons

I got selected in the face to face interview. They called me after 3 weeks and told me that I'm selected. But didn't send the offer letter. When 1 month passed away, I lost my hope. And after 45 days, HR contacted me and asked whether I'm open to the job. He was on leave that's why it took so long. And he's going to send the offer letter in two days. Even now, I didn't get the offer letter. I don't know what's the mistake in my side.
