EY only in name!!
Pros: - The one day in a month that you get to go to the beach.
- Small town life in Bermuda (if that's your thing).
- Money is slightly better than what you could earn in Canada/UK/Europe.
- Partners are very approachable.
Cons: - No client face-to-face interaction for seniors.
- Absolutely no teaming environment and almost no communication between peers.
- Very cliquey and gossipy culture.
- Most managers are unwilling to coach. Seniors are usually left to fend for themselves.
- Cumbersome methodology and the problem of perpetuating inefficiencies.
- Does not feel like EY as compared to other offices and locations. The EY "People First" element is definitely lacking.
- Ridiculous tasks assigned to seniors (e.g. proof-reading your manager's emails)
- People get promoted by virtue of who has been with the firm the longest rather than always on merit.
