What people are saying about EY

The Work-Life Bowl

3 years ago

works at 

EY

I’m 24 and just started my career at EY as a consultant. I feel good about the salary I make, work I do, and where I’m at in my career. My personal life also has a ton of fulfillment and truly makes me so happy. That being said, I have a high school classmate and close friend who was in IB and just started his own hedge fund type of business after leaving his big bank job. I feel like I’m falling behind. He’s probably going to end up a millionaire fast. I try not to compare but can’t hell mtseld

          Pros

          You will be have a training before the intern started. You may have to handle some basic documents and some worksheet assigned by the seniors, you can try different audit workdone depends on team assignment.

          Cons

          The relationship between colleagues is quite far, and the class concept is so tight in their mind. I do not have a very good experience when working in my team and I think it is quite stressful to work in such environment. The life in audit team is very hard and seniors are so tired. You may not have much time to ask every time.

                      I’m new to this data analyst part of tech. I’m trying to break in but it’s been difficult. Can anyone help me with what to expect for interview questions for my position?

                      Is there an ‘active job seeker’ icon for recruiters on LinkedIn the way there is an ‘actively recruiting’ icon for job seekers?

                      Senior Resource Manager

                      Last Thursday and Friday I interviewed with 2 hiring managers for 2 different companies. Both of them said they’d like me to progress to the next interview and the recruiter would reach out. One company said they wanted a offer out this month so it would be a quick process. I sent thank you emails and references. I haven’t heard from either recruiter. I had the recruiter screening and hiring manager interview just days apart, I thought I’d hear back by now. Thoughts?!
