Good Compensation, Tough Hours post COVID
Pros
-Great People! I was there for over 6 years because I loved the people there. This includes leadership and coworkers. Like every workplace, there's going to be some people you don't mesh well with, but overall, I appreciated the people -Great Compensation and benefits! EY offers 2 week long "breaks" for the summer and winter, along with a lot of great benefits like fitness funds, Well Hub, and really competitive pay + annual pay increase structure. I could see how staying at EY long term would help set you and your family up financially long term.
Cons
-Difficulties moving between groups and within EY. This is something I did not anticipate when I first joined, but it's not the easiest place to move around between groups. Not only do you need to build a reputation between teams and groups, you also need to make sure your project start/end timelines align, which makes this really difficult. -I do feel that everyone, post COVID, seemed really stressed and overworked, including myself. Along with many others, I felt like I was constantly working, and it seemed like the Senior, Manager and SM classes were spread too thin. I don't know all the inner workings, so I can't propose a solution, but I can say that this is one of the primary reasons I resigned from EY.
