Ernst & Young Employer Reviews

Unpredictable, varied and good access to training and development

Working at E&Y means you hardly have time to think and get bored! This experience has given me the chance to travel, meet lots of people, be part of both big and small teams for national and international projects.

My workplace was very comfortable for me. I use to come at office always at time, had a cup of tea, will greet my team mates and will start with checking up of my mails and confirming that i have done all my duties.
I will then start my work with my regular duties.
My team was very much co-operative and helpful. I would discuss with my team mates if – more... any urgent matter or issue arises.
We are also handling calls through which we would get certain number of tasks to get completed.
Meetings will be there with our team leads where we discuss our work improvements and drawbacks.
The hardest part of the job will be when a sudden issue arises and it should be completed within the day.
Working with a wonderful supporting team made each and every day as the most enjoyable day of my life. – less

Sense of achievement is worthwhile after this
