Great learning environment
Tax consultant
Working at EY as a Tax Consultant has been an incredibly rewarding journey. The firm is known for its commitment to professional development, and I’ve had numerous opportunities to expand my skill set through various training programs. The work environment is highly collaborative, and everyone is encouraged to contribute their ideas. However, the workload can be intense during tax season, and maintaining a work-life balance during peak times is challenging. Overall, EY has provided me with a strong foundation in tax consultancy, and I am grateful for the growth I have experienced here.
Rewarding with high expectations
Audit manager
My role as an Audit Manager at EY has been both challenging and fulfilling. The firm values integrity and excellence, which makes me proud to be part of the team. The company offers plenty of resources for employees looking to advance their careers, and I feel supported in my goals. The culture is fast-paced, which I enjoy, but the high expectations and deadlines can lead to stress, especially when managing multiple clients. EY is a great place to work if you are motivated and driven, but you must be ready for the demands that come with it.
Diverse experience and learning opportunities
Senior consultant
As a Senior Consultant at EY, I’ve had the chance to work on exciting projects across multiple industries, which has been an amazing learning experience. The firm offers exceptional exposure to diverse clients and allows employees to develop a broad skill set. The culture encourages networking, and I have formed valuable connections within the firm. On the downside, the work hours can be long, especially during busy periods, and finding a work-life balance can be tricky. However, the experience and knowledge I’ve gained are truly worth it for anyone looking to advance quickly in their career.
Supportive environment with room for improvement
Human resources specialist
Working at EY as a Human Resources Specialist has been a rewarding experience overall. The company genuinely values its employees and offers comprehensive benefits, including mental health resources, which I appreciate. My role allows me to contribute to creating a positive workplace culture, and I feel that my input is valued. However, the bureaucratic nature of the firm sometimes makes implementing new policies challenging, and change can be slow. Despite this, EY is a fantastic place to work, and I’m proud to be part of a company that invests in its people.
Challenging work with career growth
Business analyst
As a Business Analyst at EY, I’ve found the work to be both intellectually stimulating and rewarding. The company’s dedication to innovation and quality attracts top-tier clients, and it’s exciting to be part of such impactful projects. I have also found ample opportunities for career progression, which is motivating. However, the firm’s high standards mean that the workload is substantial, and it can sometimes be challenging to keep up with the demanding pace. Nevertheless, EY offers a solid platform for those willing to work hard and are looking to make significant progress in their careers.
