EY reviews

crazy workload because if the management is to maintain the certain profit margin, they have to cut cost on resource, a known problem to EY and it gets worse in recent years; no mentorship or guidance is given to nurture people as the turnover rate is so high that the bosses are not willing to invest in people; office politics between different teams within the same service line, the profit model has some contributing factor as partners sell projects without commitment to complete it nicely, so project team has to do what they never do or with limited knowledge stuff; no team spirit, teams tend to protect themselves and sometime throw the blames to another team on the same projects

The great learning comes at a cost of giving up work life balance and hence, makes it less sustainable for many. Hence, they witness high attrition and employee turnover rates. It is expected that we work daily until it is midnight and also every weekend. Taking off on weekends was considered a big luxury and irresponsible behavior. This however didn't affect me much since I was single then and not much of other responsibilities so, I was able to dedicate myself to work and I liked it. But, once I was planning to include things other than work (as simple as following my hobbies during non-office hours / weekends) in my life, it became difficult and hence, had to leave.
