EY reviews

I can not begin to explain the level of dysfunction occurring in this operation. If you are in search of a position which requires critical thinking or creative problem solving, you will be remiss to accept an offer at the SDC. *Click* *Click* *Click* is all you will hear within the office as new college grads mindlessly go through the motions and wonder if all of corporate life shares the same hopeless monotony. As an escapee, I can assure you, more stimulating jobs await on the other side. Still, one may say, "EY will look great on the resume". Let me be the first, and certainly not the last, to tell you; the industry is catching on to our near-shoring operations and the association can tarnish your professional reputation moving forward. Frankly, I made it by the skin of my teeth to a new position due to the negative connotations associated with the SDC. Many of my peers within the "legitimate" Big 4 world have shared with me that they have, "heard it is a blood bath". Anyway, organization within management is nonexistent and extremely political with few clients actually being sold on BAU projects and instead exploiting our low rates for short term contracts. Due to the bait and switch qualities of this operation, newly hired grads are almost immediately disillusioned and frustrated right out of the gate leading to a negative environment where people openly speak negatively about the SDC and its components. In summation, no collection of words can truly outline my frustration with the SDC's model but I hope the reader understands at this point that they should not accept the offer no matter how tempting the exceptionally low salary (relative to industry standards) is.

You will be placed into what they call SDC. Making less than or equal to $50k depending on your position. Look up Guidewire Integration jobs and view the average salary.. Yeah.... SDC HEAVILY underpaid me. This is a scam in and of itself mainly because they do not tell you specifically what the purpose is. In summary, it stands for Service Delivery Center and its main goal is to allow the candidates to work remote and SIGNIFICANTLY underpay people. You will be heavily underpaid for the amount of work that is given to you. The reason you are heavily underpaid is because they think that if you do not have to travel and you can work remote; then they might as well just cut your salary by a good $30-$45 k. You will work day and night - just as much as the consultants that travel every week. You will be in meetings with offshore calls which is in India. These calls range from early in the morning to super late at night because India is a good 9 hours and 30 mins ahead of states residing EST time zones. Depending on where you are place, you will be told that you are not doing good enough and will have to do much much more than what you already are (you will be stressing out a lot because of the low pay you are receiving and with the amount of work load that you are handling).
