EY reviews

Beware of what you are getting yourself into. I was put on the "bad employee list" and was never told that this was a possibility based on my work. After being put on a performance improvement plan, the firm said they were looking for opportunities to get me new engagements to be staffed on. I had a few partners and a manager say that many people come off a performance improvement plan and have great careers. I never got anything for 3 months, while I was asking many times for something to be staffed on and then they let me go. There are plenty of other firms and places to go get the work experience. I look back at my time and I never had anyone stick up for me or try to be of assistance to me and help me get better. Busy season is a beast and you are at the mercy of what the executives want to do for the client and time in the office. I had several weeks of 60 hours plus and some weeks that were into 70 hours. I had clients who did not want to turn their information to us in a timely manner and so it made the last crunch very difficult.

OMG - where do I begin. I should have been hired in as a Partner, but they wanted to me to prove myself since I came in from a non-traditional route being an independent consultant and my BOB wasn't already pre-built through their method. So I came in and landed several clients, but they definitely "moved the carrot" on me and "bait and switched" me several times. Make no mistake, they are a glorified staffing firm rooted in accounting/lawyer behaviors. These color everything thing they do administratively (which means it can be a nightmare to navigate for some). The climate is highly political.
