The brand and client exposure is everything
Pros: I worked in the EY Brisbane office for 1.5 years and found the following pros and hired as a lateral:
- very nice office, building and facilities
- good social events
- excellent client exposure
- technical experience is ok especially if you are new to Australia, or need to gain initial experience and exposure.
-Good future prospects because of thr above
Cons: - senior management can be partial and have double standards
- The Brisbane office is still coming to terms with diversity and has recently started recruiting people from various backgrounds..but there is still some way to go for an inclusive culture
- work life balance
- teams are not structured, and run based on favouritism and politics
- work life balance can take a toll but in the end, hard work is not lost for future career prospects
- Salaries are low, and management will try to regress you, to reap maximum benefits if your not on your guard
- some times senior management become too involved in nitty gritty and low risk areas, and feel that they should look at the bigger picture
- Also a mention is the lack of training and CPD for lateral hires, senior management does not take this seriously (post qualification)
