EY reviews

Horrible Middle Tier Leadership (Amazing if u suck up to them else u are trash in their eyes) Due to how the hierarchy works, u essentially gets filled with a ton of "SENIOR Associates" who are actually trash but due to them staying in the org for long they become senior Middle layer management (Managers, Senior Managers, Directors, Associate Partners) have an ego whereby they are unwilling to accept constructive feedback if it comes with saying that they need to relook at the way the team is going.

EY has a toxic and cut throat culture where some partners are purposefully hiding information from others to keep the client and where there is bullying that goes unreported. I have seen directors explicitly bullying other directors and this has not been reported. For leadership you are just a resource and there to serve a purpose. After 3 years, partners knew nothing about me and believe me, I have made an effort. There is no upwards feedback so if you are stuck with a patronising or demeaning manager then it can be very frustrating. There is no clear route to raise issues when you are stuck in a terrible team. Pay is low, bonus is non existent and firm operates on long hours. Depending on your team and if you can push back, some people work weekends and holidays. Promotion is very biased and not very clearly set for those I that come in as experienced hire with industry experience. I have worked in multiple companies before EY and this is by far the most toxic experience I have had to date and the company with the highest turnover. 1-3 people leave the team a week.
