- 4.029 Nov 2023ManagerFormer EmployeeDublin, Dublin

Great scope of learning and networking, approachable senior management, good pipeline of projects however depends on skillset.

- 4.029 Nov 2023ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearDublin, Dublin
Pros
Great experience and clients. Flexible working conditions

Could have more talented staff below manager. Little high quality resources for managers which leads to a greater workload.

Can get good experience and make good contacts within the industry

No Christmas bonus or bonus of any kind throughout the year while earning 'record profits'
- 1.014 Nov 2023Executive AssistantCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearDublin, Dublin
Pros
Subsidized canteen. Clean building. Beside LUAS.
Cons
Bullying culture. Extreme micro management including monitoring toilet and tea breaks to excess. The way they treat staff feels like a much smaller company with little knowledge of acceptable workplace behaviour might do. Shocking for such a big company. Genuinely a trip back to high school with 50 year old mean girls leading the Executive Assistants. No room to have a personality or work on anything other than your mundane tasks. Performative pride parties and black history month etc but it's all for show as they don't treat people with respect.

Exponential growth Connect with C-Suite individuals Expand your finance knowledge with wide-array of clients
Cons
Long working hours (inherent to the job)
- 3.022 Jul 2023ConsultingCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearDublin, Dublin
Pros
1. Opportunities to work on strategic projects. 2. There are nice people and mentors in the organisation . 3. Office is in a good location.
Cons
1. EY Consulting is a glorified staffing agency, therefore they don’t care about your career aspirations. Leadership’s sole priority is that you’re charged to a client project, which will result in a high margin. 2. Burn out - you will be asked to carry out a lot work (i.e tender responses) in addition to your client work. Leadership are content in harming staff’s mental health, so that they can maximize their equity pay outs. Despite all the extra effort, late nights and weekend work, you don’t receive any meaningful financial appreciation for this. “Exposure” and emails saying “thank you” do not pay the bills! 3. High turnover rate - every month people are made aware of some the smartest people in the organisation moving onto different jobs. 4. Pay - Compensation is sub par compared to the market rate, which is evidenced by the fact quality people are leaving for roles paying considerably more money. 5. Toxic culture - you’ll come across colleagues who will try to “one up” you. This environment is toxic.
- 4.029 Aug 2023ManagerCurrent Employee, less than 1 yearDublin, Dublin
Pros
Flexible hours and work-from-home arrangements are available with no obligation to be in the office. The team is great, with collaborative and friendly people.
Cons
Although there are benefits available, not everyone has access to them. It can be challenging to feel connected to the company culture and colleagues, as clients are the top priority. While the company is diverse overall, diversity decreases as you move up the ladder. Understanding the processes, evaluations, and career progression can be difficult. It often feels like you are constantly selling yourself, tailoring your CV, and going through endless job interviews.
