can put EY on the resume
Cons: Has an incredibly Toxic culture that is falsely portrayed as an environment of dynamic teaming, high level learning and career focuses development. Instead EY promotes an environment of blame shifting. Rewarding the self-serving individuals that can cheekily remove blame from themselves, leaving you and your reputation distorted and tainted to higher ups Even when all you did was follow instructions. Of course politics exist at all firms and company’s, but the general aura of distrust that exists at EY leaves the average employee already battered from long work hours (which Honestly I dont mind) needing to always be on edge and on guard, ready to prove and redirect blame if something were to go wrong (which happens a lot as a data analyst). Being in a field that requires a lot of logically implemented solutions it’s hard to place a set of given hours on a project, as such when things do go wrong and budgeted hours are depleted we get blamed and end up working Extra non chargeable time. In general the Big 4 accounting firms that are trying to pivot themselves using their technically advanced platform as well rounded financial accounting consulting firms, but they don’t fully grasp the integration/implementation of these concepts leading to a lot of poor teaming, assigned learnings that need to be completed outside Work hours, leading to a constant struggle to keep up with admin work coupled with client work. Great learning experience, not a good time though.
