Pros

Flexible schedule Lots of time for vaca / sick days Nice people Brand name of EY on your resume

Cons

Absolutely horrible projects, everything is boring and uninteresting tasks where you come in and repeat the same AML stuff over and over. A high schooler could be taught to do this job. In addition, the pay is extremely low for EY standards. Most people I know that work in the Jacksonville office are already looking for other jobs, or are waiting for their one year mark so they don't have to pay back their signing bonus. In addition, you don't learn that many transferrable skills. Only reason to stay here would be is if you love AML/Compliance.

Pros

Company has amazing benefits and flexibility, depending on the department / level you are with.

Cons

Remote EA model is becoming a call center! No flexibility, lack of professional management. We finally discovered there is NOT really advancement opportunity, questions about your career will be answered with vague, smiling smoke and mirrors. Our team members are leaving, high turnover! Management is using and discarding senior team members to cut costs for the model. They expect you to share your cell # with your execs.who may contact you after work hours No loyalty from management. Work environment is terrible. Don't believe recruiter, confirm what you are told.

Pros

You have installation privileges on your laptop.

Cons

I am awake at 5:30am and cannot go back to sleep because I am so dreading the day ahead. In 8 months with the firm I have worked on nothing that I was brought on to do, nor anything that has anything to do with my existing skills. I got lowballed on an offer as an experienced hire with 4.5 years of experience - and brought in at far too junior a level - and I took it anyways because it was a chance to build experience in certain risk areas. But I've done none of that. Somehow entirely process-driven yet utterly terrible in outcome, EY prevails, but I don't know how. The federal side is bad enough, but there seems to be no way to pick up commercial work, even on the side and if it's something you'd be good at, and so you end up on an entirely irrelevant project just trying to stay billable so...what? You pass the next performance review? Not that there's much point to achieving high marks if the only reward is...continuing to work on entirely irrelevant projects. This is an impersonal, unsupportive, unwieldy organization with terrible experience managers and no support, particularly at low levels. If you think you'll be able to toil in something you appreciate, give it a whirl. Otherwise, if you value yourself as a person, skip it.
