Good but could be better
Pros: Benefits, flexibility, access to great learning opportunities, trainings, taking advantage of a large global company.
Cons: Very long hours, especially in the FSO group. Interns and new hires be ware - we can work up to 4 am during busy season, which actually never ends. I’ve heard people even pull all-nighters during filing deadlines.
No bonus for staff - you have to be a senior for at least a year to see even the mediocre public accounting bonus of 2-3%, so prepare not to get anything over your base salary for the first 3 years.
No 401k matching in your first year of employment.
Very outdated and slow EY technology - our laptops can’t handle large excel files we deal with every single day and our time and expense reporting system is straight out of 80s tech.
Very high turnover, some FSO regions literally have no managers.
