Pros

Amazing people with incredible technical knowledge. Will go above and beyond to assist new staff fit in. The standard of client provides and amazing environment to learn and excel especially as a new trainee.

Cons

Management ignores issues and there is no off time. Salary does not reflect hours worked or dedication. Routinely getting calls on your days off or have to miss out on plans due to last minute deadlines. Management don’t listen.

Pros

EY name is the only pro I can think of. Take a year or so and RUN.

Cons

Terrible management style, poor training, and little to no opportunity for overtime depending what project you are on. Turnover rate is similar to that of a fast-food restaurant. Low base compared to the rest of the competition. I have been at EY for over a year and I have friends who are just now graduating from college from same school, same degree, and are starting at a much higher salary than what is offered at the EY Test Practice. Salary and raises are flat and not negotiable. It's not worth it to work here. Please take my advice and apply elsewhere.

Pros

Looks good on the resume. Good learning experience around personal brand management Majority of people you work with are genuinely good, know what they're doing, are motivated and will help others. Excellent power point slides A few partners would make good mentors. These are in the minority and their time is scarce.

Cons

Clients rarely get value for money, engagements filled with graduates or staff who have little subject matter expertise, charging upwards of 1800+ per day. No effective internal development program. Most courses / training is at an introductory level Counscellors are hit and miss, some look after their staff, others look after themselves and provide feedback that would be considered bullying / harrassment in other organisations Lack of leadership throughout the business, especially at director / senior manager level. Organisation prioritises management over leadership, majority of staff dont know the difference and micro management is very common. Long hours and low pay, but that is secondary to the above. Very high turn over.
