Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

Laid off without additional support
Pros: Globally recognized brand; competitive salary
Cons: I was I was laid off due to my department being closed. I was not provided outplacement service or any sort of support. I got a severance pay (standard one, according to the employment contract) but no additional support such as a new resume writing, job coaching / counseling appointment; EY has sometimes coaches on site or can afford it from the market otherwise.
My direct supervisor was also let go so I could not expect any support from that side. I was left on my own, in both intellectual and emotional state of the employment status change.
There was no compassion directed towards me and my health situation: I suffered from chronic illness, which HR was aware of.
