As an Executive Assistant, it depends solely on your Partner/Executive Director/Director allocation!
Pros: Working on world class client engagements and working amongst outstanding internal talent.
Cons: Depends solely on your Partner/Executive Director/Director allocation! I supported four. Three out of four were a joy to work for and always appreciative, highly respectful and we had brilliant working relationships. The fourth - the Managing Partner - was respectful only when it suited him. He treated me appallingly when I announced my pregnancy and plans to return overseas. This was the same Managing Partner who was only too happy for me to work almost as many hours as him! I would work at least 10-15 hours a week overtime for free for this individual. The Executive Assistant I had taken over from had left due to stress from his behaviour. Your EY experience depends on who you are allocated.
