Likes

The WFH option is good. Winning celebrations are conducting in premium hotels which is good. Given assets like laptop and working environment facilities are good.

Dislikes

...s. Unnecessary count of managers who don't even have proper process knowledge. Salary scale we are getting is lower compared to other MNCs.Only one who is coming to the company as Senior or Supervisor with 5+ years experience will get decent package.Rest everyone will be struggling. This is an average company but just raised with over hype.

Good Pay and Brand

Dislikes

Good Pay and Brand is not worth the toxic culture, toxic colleagues, Toxic leadership They encourage working 16-17 hrs and pulling all nighters. My experience is for EY India and not EY GDS

Learning & Development is great but often times overlooked due to work load.

Dislikes

...managers No work-life balance (Basically you're expected to be available 24x7) Poor bonus policy, all in the hand of Partners and Directors who take all the pie for themselves Unrealistic deadlines and pressure to deliver Wouldn't advice this as a first job to anyone
