Pros
Working for EY gave me the opportunity to wear a lot of different hats in a lot of roles. During my time there I was able to be heavily involved in building out new departments, processes, service offerings and teams. As far as my coworkers, I was lucky enough to work alongside some of the best and brightest talent that I’ve ever worked with and continue to keep in touch with these folks. Because of the small business environment, management is able to make quick decisions for the benefit of the companies they service and the employees that work for them. There isn’t a huge bureaucratic process to get something approved for yourself (like time off or a new role) or for your clients (like different contract terms). Because of the tight-knit and collaborative nature of the company, I learned a LOT in my time at EY that I’ve been able to carry on with me in my career. Additionally - there is unlimited PTO after 2 years of employment, pretty great perk!
Cons
As EY is essentially a “digital branding agency” - expect to work at the pace (fast) and hours (many) of an agency. The good news is the work is exciting and the days fly by. If you’re looking to work here I recommend you approach it with a fearless attitude and dive into the learning experience, you’ll get much more out of it.
