EY Malaysia - Chaotic
Pros: Good stepping stone for fresh grads. Active sports and inter-dept activities
Cons: Managers and supervisors are terrible - the kind that makes you wonder how they got their position in the first place. Terrible communication, comes in late and leaves early to the point that it affects work efficiency and quality, while expecting the rest of staff to work to the bone  - partners are clearly playing favourites thus retaining terrible performing managers. Training is conducted by different people, so depending on your luck, you might get good or bad trainers. Your career progression is also dependent on luck. Due to high attrition rates, you might get tasked a full audit alone with no senior/A2 even though you're an A1 barely a month into the job with little to 0 training - thus you will be at a disadvantage compared to your peers with better structured engagements. Little attention given to audit quality - especially the non-aob audits. Depending on your luck, you might also get problematic seniors that are often MIA - and due to high attrition rates, the company is less responsive to complaints about problematic staff due to the need to retain more experienced staff. Company too focused on signing new clients and expanding revenue base without fully taking into account resource management and needs.
