Pros and cons of working at EY New Zealand
Pros
Everyone is really friendly and there is a lot of support provided to us especially for someone just starting out.
The flexibility and support you get in between projects.
We did a training week at the start which is standard. Most impressed with our online learnings platform.
There is absolute transparency over future prospects.
Good workplace culture of inclusion, fair management, good amount of social events organised by EY.
Cons
Hours and overtime.
Working at a big firm who hires the best of the best I can't help but feel imposter syndrome regularly.
Bonuses are non-existent. Pay feels far too little for the work we do.
Work demand varies which can make it hard when your top priority is to be on chargeable work and you cannot get on it
I feel there has been little training, and in the wrong areas.
