Jacksonville SDC - Recent Grads Day Care Center

Analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- The EY Name - Benefits - Flexibility - If you take on the SDC labor camp, join PMO or DNA practices. They are the closest to consulting and you will be able to leverage those experiences in order to jump to real consulting or higher paying industry positions. Do your max of two years and get out. Not worth it to make it to Manager when you will be managing a team that is statistically proven to leave between 18 months to two years time-frame, leaving you to manage college grads forever and unable to grow your leadership skills.

Cons

- Jacksonville Location IS NOT consulting, it is a on-shore delivery center of same quality work but for 30-40% less salary. Aka recent grads labor camp. - Don't join the following practices: FCC, SDC TAX, Testing.

Do not work here if you are in IT and in the US

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are pretty good and the pension plan is spot on. WFH is a great perk

Cons

EY always talks about saving money and cannot offer raises. Yet they will have double digit growth in income with bonuses going to Directors and such. You will see jobs posted for hiring but they are outsourcing all of their IT functions to lower pay areas offshore or cities that give EY huge tax breaks. They have no problem moving operations to anywhere if given a deal. If you are in IT do not work here. They are going through another round of layoffs with no rhyme nor reason. Offshore work procedures that companies did in the early 2000s yet brought back to the US. EY is about 10 years behind the trend.

Pros

Great experience working with 12+ large clients in the past year.

Cons

No consistency. Little impact seen within clients as we are paid to produce a report and then leave. Inflationary raise and no bonus despite constant praise from partner. Work-life balance is poor with 60 hour work weeks and every vacation in the past year cut short or interrupted by meetings no one else could supposedly cover for.
