Uncertain work life balance with very low pay (for PI)
Pros: This refers to Performance Improvement business line of EY (Service line IIC)
1. Employees get enough opportunity to take risks and responsibility
2. Exposure and project work good (most of the times)
3. Learning opportunity from other business lines viz. Audit, Risk, Tax
Cons: 1. Analysis to death, which often seems redundant at the end of it which matches the initial assumption of it being redundant
2. Probably the worst paymaster in the industry
3. Does not value your pre MBA experience, even if it relevant and related to industry
4. Work life balance is completely screwed up most of the times, less due to travel, but more due to project management which typically works on overburdened resources or redundant work/analysis
5. Project work is not always exciting as lot of work deals with Medium and Large Indian organisations, less with MNCs. Indian organisations have their idiosyncrasies
6. Hygiene factors are not dealt with viz. EY policy does not apply always when on client side but client's do which often makes you feel equally miserable as client employee.
7. Bottom line - big issue with project management and over promised deliveries impacts employee morale and lifestyle. At very low pay you end up working like donkeys, many times
