      long hours with a lot lies

      Auditor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      big 4 accounting firms; kind of famous; some employee education can jump

      Cons

      long hours is expected for accounting firms, but what surprises me is the lies that keep getting young unsuspecting people into the door. they say they emphasize work-life balance, but work equals life; I guess that balance out the equation.

      Large company with cutthroat, large company culture

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I did not have a good experience at EY, so take this review with a grain of salt. I was there for 2 years with not much positive to say about it. There are good professional opportunities and the pay is competitive but you will have to put up with a lot in order to obtain that upside.

      Cons

      Hmm, where to start. The people are jerks who will run you over if you don't look out for yourself (er, I mean, the firm is "high-performing"). The firm claims to support work-life balance but I don't know anyone that works less than 45-50 hours a week, and evenings/wknds are not unusual at all (I had lots of client calls at night or early morning). There is a large company culture, meaning that there is a lot of bureaucratic BS and office politics are horrible. At the lower levels I think there is less of this (due to lower expectations) but it seemed to permeate the entire organization. If you enjoy large companies then it might work for you but beware.

      terrible experience

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. totally no life-work balance. get up around 6am, leave home around 7am, get back home around 11pm. no additional compensation for extra time work. 2. in the past one and half year, almost learn nothing from the work. done a lot of projects, however, almost no chance to learn the details of the projects. client might spend couple year to finish a model, we need finish a report about this model within a very short time. even you are very experienced, you can not get the all the trick part of the model. actually, there is even more worse things, due to the short time, we are not able to do any testing about the client's model. essentially, just pick some nice sentence from client's own report, re-write into our report. if i am keeping doing this, i might be able to realize my writer's dream.

      Cons

      very political working environment. remind me the situation of China in middle 80s. senior managers almost do nothing directly for the project, they might just setting there, arrange facilities, but they are not facilities person. one more funny story, a accounting master in ey is doing derivative pricing project.
