The truth about working at EY
Pros: Will meet hard working, nice, helpful brilliant people
Good brand - peers and recruiters / employers alike are impressed with your EY experience
Decent benefits - gym subsidy, decent healthcare, ok pay
Cons: IT DEPENDS ON YOUR PROJECT. I cannot stress this enough - some projects are super chill 9-5 but really only work 2 hrs and you can work remotely 40 hrs a week. Other projects are nonstop 9-8/9 grinds where everyone and everything is difficult and confusing and a complete shitshow.

Also a crap ton of policies involved, including how to maneuver your way onto the good projects, which partners to get familiar with, what you can and cannot say to your peers, managing brand perception, etc.

If you are a bright individual who likes to work hard and be creative while having a work life balance, EY is not for you. The chill projects are boring. The intense projects are boring and insanely stressful.
