I used to work at EY so majority of my LinkedIn connections are from there. I’ve noticed that anytime someone from there gets a new cert or goes to a conference, they praise EY for “allowing” them this opportunity. Is this a mandatory thing? Is this a thing at other firms?

I don’t know if it is mandatory, but if ey is paying for your cert or you are representative ey in a conference, it’s good to do that. If you tag ey, you get more hits. For a conference , it helps to get that out as well.

It gives them extra brown-nosing points.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the deciding factors for promotion.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
