Is EY really switching to 45 Hour weeks in the off season? Interviewing there currently, but having doubts if hats true. All service lines?

So you really think if it’s 40h, you work 40, if it’s 45, you work 45? Hmmm, maybe stay away from Big 4 my friend

@EY3 lol no. I’m at a different B4 currently, well aware that 40 is more like 50-55. I just feel better having the illusion of a slower season.

OP, I came from another Big 4 in which they adjusted the weekly hour from 40-45 like a year ago. The only difference is that you are putting 9 instead of 8 every day, lol

Hey Fishes,

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions

2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best. Turns out he was telling me I was scheduled for 3 different interviews for 3 different teams in one day. Has anyone heard of a company doing that or gone through this for an interview? It seems odd to me

Has anyone actually gone through with accepting an offer from the Siegfried Group? I hear from a recruiter representing them probably once a week. How is it?
