Planning to apply to EY but heard they don’t have good benefits. They don’t give employees a work phone and don’t even pay for gym any more (among other things). Is this true? How can they contd...

They also don’t cover lunch when u travel...which is the dumbest thing they do. If they want to save money, just offer a per diem. Ppl will blow $40 on dinner and $15 on breakfast easily. Lump that into a per diem and treat the people who live out of a suitcase appropriately

Not true. They reimburse $60/month for phone, and up to $500/year for fitness. I joined EY from Deloitte and I think the benefits are very similar.

Thanks M1. That also seems really low though - unlimited talk time plans cost so much more :( And I’m surprised to hear that D has similar benefits. I thought they provided work phones too!! Is IBM the only company that does that these days? 😳 Beyond shocking.

Benefits on the whole are quite good. Pension too.

Culture is key. They have a strong culture, but not for the faint of heart...

I’d say every firm reimburses, except EY haha. Accenture offers per diem and KPMG offers both I believe. Some ppl prefer per diem bc u get to pocket money, as u know.

...not give work phone in a Consulting role? Do they reimburse personal phone bills?

H1 - Seriously? Why do you say that? Any feedback would help me while I’m making a decision. There is a position I have interviewed for - and the role looks interesting. But I want to go to a place that has a good work culture - that is extremely important to me.

KPMG1 - Would you say PwC has a better work culture than EY?

M2 - Oh wow. That is really weird. IBM gives per diem as well, which is really low, but I’ve been used to it for a while now. Was so sure all of Big 4 was better about this. Apparently EY isn’t 😳 I know Deloitte doesn’t have per diem but they reimburse everything - in terms of food.
