You get actual vacation accrual, not "flexible" vacation
Of course!
I moved from PwC to EY and I think the PwC benefits were slightly better. PwC gives you a phone (which is yours to keep after you leave) and pays the entire phone bill. PwC also pays $100 to your student loans each month. Someone already mentioned that you actually accrue vacation, that’s probably the biggest benefit imo. I got a nice PTO payout when I left PwC. Retirement and insurance is pretty similar. EY does have the wellness and commuting funds but I never get much use of out those.
I didn’t want to spend money just for the sake of using the fund. After tax, you really only get reimbursed like 50% of the purchase. So I only used the fund if I was already going to purchase something. A couple years ago I used around $200 to get AirPods, last year I used about $250 on a hotel when I was traveling.
No wellness fund, no commuting benefits other than a tax advantaged account where you contribute 100%. 401k match is 25% on the first 6% of salary complemented by a separate PwC contribution of between 3-8% (depending on level). 120 hours of vacation for your first two years under manager level then 176 hours after or at manager.
PwC’s wealth builder (pension) allows you choose investments like a 401k, while EYs pension just gives you a guaranteed 4% return each year. Even if you put it into an index fund, pwc gives you much higher returns over the long term while EY’s return might not even cover inflation.
