I feel like any company that brags about its "culture" is setting you up for disappointment... At least, that's how I feel at EY. It's very team dependent at the end of the day...

I’ve truly never worked anywhere nicer than EY. People are magnitudes more respectful to eachother than in a lot of industry firms.

Agreed! I left a few months ago, but it seemed very pretentious and fake. And I definitely saw some pretty bad culture

100%. If anything, there's so much talking behind your back.

If you are not happy, say it to my face. Stop trying to act supportive when you really aren't

My experience has been the same. There are pockets of amazing people but it never lasts (people depart, projects switch, etc.).

Yes. This is exactly how I feel as well. A few good people seem to hold some teams together but when they quit or move to a new project things quickly go off the rails until you get lucky and get on another good project/team.

Having worked at mutiple other consulting megashops, the culture at EY and EYP is refreshing from a "respect for others" perspective. And it trickles down to how I treat my team members.
However, we need to improve our direct feedback culture and have more apetitite for constructive criticism

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
