Pros

Not applicable for this venture.

Cons

EY India LLP. FRAUD Company. Beware of any opportunity emails coming from "in.ey.com". They will Destroy your career. LLP = Limited Liability Parternership 1. You are not the liability of EY, but the partners who just use the EY brand name to bid for the government projects. 2. Partners pay commission (approx 30%) to EY for brand name use, IT infra support(laptops, dongles, email accounts etc), HR, Accounts and Admin services. 3. You will NEVER sit in EY premises. Since it incurs a cost, to be borne by the partner and he will do anything to prevent that from happening EVER. 4. During recruitment HR will NEVER reveal these things. 5. In the offer letter as well they will not include your department called GPS (Government and Public Sector). 6. During sick leave, you are expected to work, but there is no WFH policy. 7. They follow client's calendar. Which means if the government office works on Saturdays, yours is working as well. 8. IT Technologies. They use excel sheets as a bug tracker and for the list of pending tasks. As they don't have money to buy JIRA or TFS licenses. You can easily picture that, they literally live in a stone age. For some very strange reasons they are extremely afraid and pissed off if someone talks about GitHub and MVC. 9.IT Infra: If an employee meets with an accident on the way to office and the laptop is damaged, they will deduct the repair cost from the employee's salary. So, even if the employee dies in an accident on the way to office, he has to make sure that the laptop is cushioned around with the employee body well enough to make it absolutely impact proof so as to prevent any physical or internal damage to the laptop's vital organs. 10. Managers: There are no real project manager, since all of them have become bloody engagement, marketing and pre-sales executives. 11. Work place: EY premises are well maintained and work place conditions are of the good standards. But they don't give a damn if its employees (those, hooked up with EY India LLP) are working from stinking toilets at the client location, sitting on broken chairs which are no better than execution chairs. There is nasty smell of dead decomposing rodents in the false ceilings and the dampened cupboards all over the place. They CHEAT new candidates to the utmost levels and don't reveal the working conditions to them neither during the recruitment nor the induction process. They do not keep any transparency with them about anything.

Cons

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).
