EY reviews

Remote EA model is becoming a call center! No flexibility, lack of professional management. We finally discovered there is NOT really advancement opportunity, questions about your career will be answered with vague, smiling smoke and mirrors. Our team members are leaving, high turnover! Management is using and discarding senior team members to cut costs for the model. They expect you to share your cell # with your execs.who may contact you after work hours No loyalty from management. Work environment is terrible. Don't believe recruiter, confirm what you are told.

I am awake at 5:30am and cannot go back to sleep because I am so dreading the day ahead. In 8 months with the firm I have worked on nothing that I was brought on to do, nor anything that has anything to do with my existing skills. I got lowballed on an offer as an experienced hire with 4.5 years of experience - and brought in at far too junior a level - and I took it anyways because it was a chance to build experience in certain risk areas. But I've done none of that. Somehow entirely process-driven yet utterly terrible in outcome, EY prevails, but I don't know how. The federal side is bad enough, but there seems to be no way to pick up commercial work, even on the side and if it's something you'd be good at, and so you end up on an entirely irrelevant project just trying to stay billable so...what? You pass the next performance review? Not that there's much point to achieving high marks if the only reward is...continuing to work on entirely irrelevant projects. This is an impersonal, unsupportive, unwieldy organization with terrible experience managers and no support, particularly at low levels. If you think you'll be able to toil in something you appreciate, give it a whirl. Otherwise, if you value yourself as a person, skip it.
