Doing the job of three and counting
Pros: EY employs a great bunch of people trying to progress despite the generally toxic culture. There are some really interesting projects to work on and lots of opportunities to try something different
Cons: There is a general sense that it's possible to do more with less so when someone leaves or when new parts of the business open up, it's expected that existing teams will fill the gaps. No accommodation is made in performance reviews and this leads to back biting. Those who get on are the ones who manage to dodge the extra work and those who shout loudest. In my experience, if you are working every hour, you just don't have the time to tell everyone how great you are. Where the Global People Survey results reflect the poor working conditions, they are used to beat up the middle management rather than the firm's leadership team who are the root cause of the problem.  Salary structures have now been revised so there is no incentive for people to stay but if your team leave, it's considered to be your fault.
