EY reviews

I work in the FSO (Financial Services Organization) division and as a Senior Manager, EY has an 'up and out' policy. This means if you are not deemed worthy of promotion to Director, Executive Director or Partner/Principal, you will be guided to consider working for a client (if a good position exists for you) or you are free to seek your fortunes elsewhere. The road to promotion takes a few years, and you need a senior partner/principal to sponsor you - meaning he/she has to have deep relationships and credibility. Remember that you are competing with lots of other senior managers. The reality is that there are only so many SM's a partner/principal can sponsor, so it is very competitive. Your earnings need to be significant ( a few $million every year) every year. And you need to be very well utilized (charging clients) as well as plugged into many internal initiatives.

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.
