No per diems only actuals , daily time sheet entry (gotta enter your time every day and no projecting), Google for mail, docs, excel, and ppt. Video calls with Google Hangouts for team meetings so they can “see your face”. One of the best things is mobile enablement (do all your crap on your iPhone or iPad since it is all Google)

That Google hangout comment isnt true at least for the teams we are on. Usually a conference number or a webex is used

To clarify meals are actual with a daily limit $75 or $100 depending on cost area. Partner can authorize excess...found out that mine thinks the limit is stupid and will approve anything not crazy.

Only left a year ago, they actually revised the T&E policy so you don’t have to do daily time entry? That’s awesome!

T&E policy has changed too. EY must have left awhile ago.
