Vantaggi

È difficile trovare aspetti positivi in un’azienda che non fa mai ciò che dice. Alcuni sconti sugli acquisti forniti nel pacchetto benefit. Lo stipendio viene pagato puntualmente. Ferie aggiuntive per esigenze personali di salute. Ho avuto occasione di incontrare alcune brave persone, che forniscono buoni servizi ai clienti.

Svantaggi

Nessuna cultura di squadra. Alcune persone non si dedicano per niente ai clienti, ma solo agli affari personali. I soci raramente vanno a trovare i clienti per sviluppare le attività. Gli alti dirigenti sembrano interessati a ottenere meriti personali invece di aiutare il personale giovane a crescere. Alcuni dirigenti agiscono egocentricamente, eppure la loro incompetenza è evidente. I dirigenti provenienti dal settore bancario non hanno nessuna attitudine per la consulenza: staccano alle 17:00, non si curano del lavoro della loro squadra, sprecano la giornata sui siti web sportivi o di notizie, non hanno rispetto verso i clienti. Sono coscienti della scarsa qualità del loro lavoro e quindi mentono senza mezzi termini per non essere scoperti. Allo stesso tempo sono protetti dai loro sponsor interni (soci), quindi anche se si segnala il loro comportamento non succede nulla. Per dirla in altro modo, sono concentrati a rubare soldi all’azienda (bei soldi, dati i loro alti stipendi). Inoltre, non sanno come funzioni un sistema di feedback. Cattive procedure di reclutamento: gente poco competente viene assunta con incarichi di responsabilità. La meritocrazie non è il motore più importante delle promozioni (con qualche eccezione). Il mio lavoro era molto povero di contenuti, non facevo altro che preparare diapositive con poco valore aggiunto. Sono stato lasciato solo dal mio superiore, senza alcun sostegno su come condurre il progetto. Non si impara molto e le opportunità di carriera al di fuori di EY potrebbero essere poche se non si lascia quanto prima possibile. Se si rimane, bisogna sperare in una promozione, altrimenti la carriera presto si considera conclusa e cercheranno di farvi dimettere. Straordinari non pagati. Nessuna opportunità internazionale nel ramo FSO Advisory. Francamente, c’è un grande divario tra ciò che mi era stato detto dal reclutatore e ciò che ho visto sul lavoro.

Svantaggi

OK, I'm going to be discussing all the taboo things, and there are a lot of them. In spite of these cons, I still admit it's worth a five star rating. 1. High performers are "designated" (you have very little control over your rating) by the partner group (can be a pro if you get selected. Seriously, I have worked with some of the supposed "fives" and they are not any different than my threes and fours. 2. Quality is extremely low. Sometimes I felt like I was working at McDonalds and not a professional services firm. The emphasis is on getting through work as fast as possible and expectations for quality are not realistic. 3. EY has a very hard time firing bad employees. If you get stuck with one it can be a nightmare. 4. EY has a heavy emphasis on wasting time. For example, there are lots and lots of checklists which have no value that you have to fill out. Also, they wasted money and time on creating "Canvas" which is literally slower and more awkward than the previous workspace tool, GAMX. There is a heavy emphasis on "reinventing the wheel" and fixing problems that aren't broken with even worse solutions. Instead of wasting money on useless tools, that money could have been spent on your employees in the form of compensation. Like I said, EY is really focused on attempting to look as though value is being created when in fact it is not. 5. Lots of meetings. Appearances are very important. 6. Employees on global 360 accounts get better treatment. 7. Some employees (executives mostly) tend to overemphasize how important this work is. Let's face it, if it was really glorious work then we would have action figures. 8. Looks are very important. Seriously, if you are a girl, you will get promoted based on how hot you are (the quality of your work is largely unimportant). If you are a guy, you are treated a little better but there is still a sexist undercurrent in the environment. This is advice you won't get from HR obviously, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. 8. You will be forced to eat hours. 9. Your ethical compass will start to get weaker. 10. You will get a little cynical. 11. Lots of driving and travel. 12. "Family men" and married couples with children are more likely to be promoted. If you want to be a partner, you have to be married (few exceptions). 13. You will work on vacations. 14. Loss of relationships with family and friends. 15. Some backstabbing and credit-stealing (but not very common). 16. Comp is below market but that's to be expected. 17. Employee retention is not something management is interested in. This makes you replaceable and expendable (yes even as a manager, unless you have been "designated" as a high performer by the partner group).
