Pros

Opportunities for international secondment on short term assignments. Reasonably good payscales. Good place for relatively junior people who are just beginning their careers to see how a large consulting firm thinks.

Cons

Tons of things are wrong with this company. It just borrows the EY brand name but beyond that is run like a typical lala shop by the two partners. Impractical targets are set. Those who do not perform or are seen as questioning the policies are given a PIP and asked to leave. A group of people close to the senior management is allowed a lot of freedom in decision making but beyond this group, allunfair means are used to judge people subjectively. Those who question the authority of the partners are either subjected to ridicule and public humiliation or ignored completely during the appraisal process. The hopeless HR team has no powers over anything and are happy being mute spectators. Favoritism is so rampant, folks take it as given. The senior global leaders have no idea or simply don't care how this place is being run or how the EY brand is being misused. A real toxic culture.

Not a pleasant work environment

Pros

You may get decent client exposure depending on your position and your team's willingness to let you have contact with clients

Cons

1. Don't be fooled by the firm's "global image"; it is very much a Singaporean firm run by Singaporeans with your typical Singaporean work culture. Expect selfish people who will look after themselves first or blame you just to avoid any blame themselves. 2. Politics, favourtism are common. People will treat partners differently from how they treat associates (i.e. as inferior beings) 3. You will be expected to produce as much as you can while having as little resources as possible, such as budgeted time for jobs. 4. EY prides itself on its time-off-in-lieu system but depending on your schedule, you may not be able to clear all the time-off that you have accumulated. 4. In tax, expect inefficient, unintuitive processes which you are somehow supposed to be totally familiar with despite being a newcomer and which you are supposed to follow, just because "we've been doing it this way since 50 years ago". Very old-fashioned mindset prevalent, especially among management. 5. You will be treated as a worker more than a person. People prioritise their targets over you.

Pros

EY is a good name to work for. Unfortuntely, not everyone follow EY values in luxembourg. - You can learn the funds and how things work in EY Luxembourg. - Really depends on the team you work for. - They respect the people and it is more diverse than other big 4 firm.

Cons

-EY Luxembourg could turn out a scam if you want to invest in your career. Many managers, senior managers are not certified, they are just promoted and in process of studying ACCA. -Trainings are so aweful, during the trainings people work on there laptops. Salaries are lower comparing to other big4. -Policies are not so constant, they change from time to time, concerning overtime and process of approval for example. - Sometimes you feel the upper management tries to go cheap and does christmas party in a garage, - Consueling and conselor things dont really function very efficiently, its all politics. - EY is a great place to work, but you sometimes work with senior managers who dont live the values of EY unfortunately.
