EY reviews

- Our work is very exhausting especially during interim and busy season. Some onshores can be very demanding despite the fact that they've only booked few hours. Some even demand for us to work even after the week the engagement is booked. - A lot, if not all employees feel we are not appreciated. People who have worked for few years are currently receiving less than what the firm is offering to new comers. It seems like the management is much more interested in inviting people to enter the firm then retaining people who actually knows what they're doing through years of experience. The increase we've all received triggered some of my colleagues to pass CVs to different companies. - GDS Management doesn't really care about our issues. We all wanted explanations regarding the pay parity. Normally, the management should have held townhall meeting but they did not despite lots of complains from their employees. - The issue of pay parity has been going on for a year now. When we first joined the GDS since a lot of us are from SGV, the pay we're receiving is already below the salary they're offering outside. Now the management promised us that after a year, our salary will be in line with what they're offering outside. We 'trusted them' because they promised but that did not take into effect. It seems like the firm is more interested in inviting others to join than retaining employees who have dedicated years working for them. They always tell us that they're ready for attrition. We all know that everyone is replaceable but isn't it a bit insensitive to rub that fact in our face just because we're thinking of leaving the firm? Is it bad to demand what they have promised? We have already been silent for one year. Do we still have to wait for another year for their promise to take effect? We are not in any way affected by the pandemic, business wise. In fact, they're saving a lot since all of us have been working from home.

Pretty much everything is a con about being sold the EY dream and being stuffed in a "sweat shop" referred to as the Solution Delivery Center. The first indication that you are being PLAYED is a salary around 40K in the Alpharetta area and 39K in JAX Florida. You will be sold on a role that fits your idea of a consultant- NOT TRUE. You will come to the office see some nice people and if you decide to come you will be disappointed. There is one major project in the center that dominates the firm- if you are not on this project you are SCREWED and if you are- you are SCREWED. So either you work long hours for little pay - 40k remember that. Or you are benched for 8 months out of the year- real EY people will say that is because they are trying to push you out. NOT- actually i received a very good review and a 4k raise and 2k bonus- WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR ME- NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. What they are doing at this center should be a crime. To lure in well performing students under the name EY when really this is just a crappy start up that will use you and teach you absolutely NOTHING! In my two years here I can tell you how to copy and paste. So if you read all the way down here - here is my advice DONT DO IT! Not many projects False expectations Very low salary Leadership does not care
