Loved the people, didn't like the working ethics.
Pros: Ernst & Young colleagues are nice people. It is usually a friendly working environment and people do help each other out. Furthermore, it's like school since everyone of almost the same age group enters in batches together and you go through orientation together.
Cons: Long hours are required very frequently and the management is not aware that there are just not enough auditors hired to do the engagements they keep piling on. They repeatedly insist that EY Singapore is overstaffed, while many of the auditors work day and night, weekends just to barely complete a company's audit engagement. Not enough thought has been put into ensuring the welfare of EY's employees.
