Are you comparing EY with EY? Not sure what you mean 🤔

OP, there’s equal bashing of all firms happening here because not everyone is happy for various reasons. You know... internet. You also have to keep in mind that you only have access to EY bowl and main bowl, and not other companies’ bowls where people discuss their policies, etc. so it may seem skewed. Plus some people take it to the next level where logic doesn’t seem to be taken into account and some are just flat out hateful. It’s also just that time of the year - comp cycle just ended and there are always people who want to make more and they’re looking.

If you are enjoying your time with the firm, that’s great! I do too as do many other people in the firm. I came from Deloitte and where as I will always have a soft spot for them as well, EY and my practice specifically was a better fit for me. So just ignore the negativity when it is irrational and emotional and focus on your own experiences.

FYI - HR doesn’t have access to this bowl. You have to have a consultant title.

Have ghosted meetings. Seems like people actually care and my pay is much better than before. On fishbowl ive seen a lot of EY bashing, and I understand its not perfect for everyone. Theres give and take on benefits like the 401k plan, but id rather have a good team and less political and stressful times. What makes people dislike this company so much? Just trying to get some thoughts

Lol, nah - just enjoy being here.

Things I’m not a fan of are all bureaucracy related, which is basically the same everywhere. At the end of the day, I love the people in my practice and enjoy the work itself and feel well paid.

Going to go walk my dog and grab some coffee. Life is good, y’all!

I came in from accenture and have been here 9 months, im part pf the DnA group and am happy. Definetly not HR of office management, actual MC here. Its not wtey, to me that was the low point, the high points were out on the field for me.

EY4 thank you, i thought everybody was posting about something bc i continue to see deloitte, kpmg, bcg, acn and many more on the newsfeed. Maybe i was just looking in our comp bowl. Not sure, but have picked up on a lot more negativity than positivity. I just know that at the end of the day, people would kill to be in our position and a couple grand up or down in my pay doesnt take away my humility.

Im comparing EY to other B4 and competitors.
