Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Diverse and Inclusive company, lots of politics and very hierarchical
Pros: Diversity and Inclusion, different experiences because of the variety of projects, most people are smart and efficient, good name to have on your CV.
Cons: Hierarchical discrimination, - If you are a Grad, Consultant or even a Senior Consultant, it is very common to be ignored by higher people in the company when you emailed them about something that is not important for them.
Unable to contribute with ideas - The person with the highest position always decides what to do and rarely lets staff with a lower rank contribute with ideas.
High Turnover Rate - EY is good selling themselves and attracting people but most of them start looking for a new job after less than a year. It is depressing to have a farewell party every Friday.
No Work/Life Balance - People who work in internal teams (HR) keep posting on linkedin about flexibility at EY and how they can  work from a cafe during the week. Client facing employees need to be at the client's office everyday before 9 and work very long hours, and then spend their weekend trying to catch up with work and admin things like doing expenses.
