EY Financial Controller reviews

Its like being in high school where you are constantly being picked on and talked down on. The politics is too much & most senior management employees think its okay to gossip, back-stab junior employees to cover up their failures & in some case, sabotage some to get them fired. There has been discriminatory things said about minorities which are leading people to believe is a reason for getting people recently sabotaged & fired. This was brought up to management and they covered it up and same with someone who was sabotaged, who brought up the issue with HR, and they did nothing thereby going along with management. In a matter of one week - 3 people have left a group and that will make it 4 people in a month and that is because of the management. The partner has constantly told group members that if you do not like the hours or how things are done - then you can leave and go find a job someplace else (that is not okay). For the amount of work your employees do for this company with little pay, we are being treated poorly, poor benefits, poor work/life balance, no bonuses, little or no raises and on top of it - we have to be picked on too. Working here has currently turned into a nightmare and if leadership does not step in, they will lose all their people (their good people).

They have a "DSG" program that other firms stopped using years ago. Most firms give you a load of work or clients to work on automatically. As a Staff/Senior, you have to find your own projects and take charge of your schedule from Day 1 in San Jose, ca. Your career will pay for it if you don't start asking for work right away. Stay away from the larger engagements as you won't learn as much like you do on the small ones since you often get stuck doing one or two main schedules and that's it. Make sure you network or else you don't look like a team player. Everything is about perception there so be careful about image and reputation.
