Regretful waste of 10 years of my life

Business Outlook

Pros

- Majority of Pros are at the junior level where you can rotate between advisory, Tax, Assurance etc and can find what you really like to do .. - Some great people to work with but majority of the people get caught in office politics

Cons

- Work Life balance is the worst I have seen. - Management makes promises that they have no intention to keep - Promotions are more focused on billable hours rather than the quality of work or the contribution to intellectual content of EY - Compensation packages are on the bottom side of industry - Management basically own you and if you are not responding to every beck and call, you are never getting good reviews. - Cutting cost in every possible way to a point where it has started to feel like a body shop rather than a prestigious top 4 consulting firm.

Egan LLP (EY's Immigration Law firm) - Immigration Law Clerk

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There were great benefits for Egan employees which were associated with working at EY.

Cons

Poor training. Low pay. Unreasonable expectations. Disorganized management by the lawyers. Lack of recognition. Extremely high turnover. This is why there are always job postings at Egan LLP. The lawyers at Egan will not hesitate to replace their support staff with a new employee for lower pay. Lack of interest in the professional development of their clerks and support staff. Clerks and other support staff were consistently overworked. Managing lawyers were reluctant to pay for overtime hours, unless they exceeded 50 hours. Managing lawyers used subtle threats to increase competition and to influence clerks to put in long hours. The HR department in this company does not care about its employees, and did not effectively address the issues that were brought up by the support staff.
