Pros and cons of working at EY AU
Pros
The people and the opportunities for growth. We are known as the 'friendly firm' and it couldn't be more true. Our people are also made great because of the incredible mentoring programs we have embedded into our culture. There is also so much opportunity to move around in the company and challenge yourself. It's made clear that your career here is whatever you want it to be.
Global network, unlimited access to online training, emphasis on personal development.
The people Lots of social events.
Working with people from all different backgrounds on engagements that benefit society.
Range of experiences.
Cons
Big employer = hard to navigate takes a while to build your own brand.
Long hours, pressure.
It can be quite disempowering and impersonal, and you often do not have a say in the engagements or projects that you work on; and are allocated into long term projects with little consultation.
Being shared across ACG and not being able to focus more on interest areas.
I feel like there is nothing distinguishing it from its competitors. Also working for such a big company gives me the impression that I'm not making any real impact. I also can't relate to most of the company - my team is too specialised.
