Any thoughts on EY vs Slalom? Expecting offers from both and weighing pros & cons of each. Currently at another Big 4 firm. I don’t mind some travel but prefer some flexibility & remote weeks mixed in

I have never driven more than 30ish mins to client site. Slalom has a great culture.

Very different companies. Unless you’re in a specific group at Slalom, there is no travel. No travel however means no air travel, you could be driving upwards to 2 hours each way to a client (depends on market). I’m currently with Slalom and very happy, but I feel like it’s necessary to be very clear about what Slalom is like to anyone considering

SC1, agreed - I’m speaking to extremes to be sure OP understands the possibilities, I never stated the norm or the average

I hear terrible things from all my EY friends... Slalom is very people-focused, with minimal travel. Between the two, assuming $ is similar, the choice is clear...

Thanks PAL1. Are any of your EY friends in the PAS group?

Stay away from EY.

Thanks for sharing EY1. Have you pushed back on these expectations? If so, what was the response? (I agree this shouldn’t be happening. Sometimes they only adjust if you push back / call it out, but sometimes even then nothing changes which is very frustrating)

That’s OCM, right? If so, then yes... lots of them being “forced” into tech projects...

I mean, I assume that’s true anywhere. Now that we’re in the downturn, you won’t get the same flexibility in projects and type of work you do. If you find yourself on the bench, you could find yourself on the street... so doing other types of work is in your best interest...

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
