Great place to work for patient people
Pros: EY affords many of its staff with the opportunity to travel, learn new things, and have a wide range of experiences. Colleagues are supportive and open-minded, and all are encouraged to be their authentic selves. There is a genuine interest in developing people.
Cons: The large, historic nature of the organisation makes it extremely slow to adapt and change. Pay progresses embarrassingly slowly such that promotion is the only way to secure a meaningful increase, and the more senior one becomes the rarer those promotions become. The reluctance to take risks on the part of senior management combined with senior promotions only being available in high growth environments leads to the need for a lot of patience once you reach senior manager.
