      Beware, abnormal turn-over rate is for a reason in EY Singapore

      Manager - fso advisory
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Brand name, but less and less beneficial as other companies know to ask about specific experiences rather than relying on just brand name

      Cons

      1. No consideration of your career interest. In the end, what helps you in your career will be whether you have relevant experience. At EY Singapore, you have no input in the projects you work on 2. Extremely negative culture. A lot of cliques, gossips, backstabbing and favoritism. Everyone focuses on kissing up and trashing peers to advance. 3. Flexibility is not supported. Requesting it will be used as a negative in your performance review 4. Both culture and pay are worst among big 4 and other professional companies 5. Overall, there's a reason for the high turn-over rate, even in big 4 standard. I have heard from colleagues from EY offices overseas that EY Singapore is an anomaly. For the internal EY employee satisfaction survey, EY Singapore has been consistently ranked the lowest globally (30%-40% satisfaction vs. 70%-80% global average) Advice for potential joiners: 1. figure out the type of projects that interest you, and ask your recruiters/interviewers EY's experience in them. Ask specifically when the project happened and where it happened - leadership here has a tendency to over-promise and use projects from overseas offices or from years ago as examples for EY Singapore. 2. HR in EY Singapore has been known to post fake positive reviews online. Look at reviews from the negative side and see if there are common themes. And then base your decision on all considerations.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good medical coverage and dental benefits - good clientele - able to claim approved overtime work hours as leave in lieu - good brand name

      Cons

      - bad politics, toxic environment - understaffed, overworked - poor performance evaluation process - reporting to too many people makes juggling several projects difficult, team work not witnessed - high turnover affects morale

      Grass is greener elsewhere

      Tax associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not much, other than the fact that you train up on your technical skills and exposure to a variety of industries and companies. In addition, many MNCs do look for Big 4 candidates especially in the Finance role.

      Cons

      - low pay at associate to senior level - OT culture (very common in Big 4, I know even before I joined but you really see emails flying around at 2/3/4am) - to add on to OT culture, my first year I worked from 9am to 5am, grab home wash up, rest 2h and came back to work, REPEAT X5-6 TIMES A WEEK) - toxic culture (seniors and managers are not appreciative of your work, they take the extra effort and work you put in for granted) - adding on to toxic culture: personal experience with toxic seniors that sent you extremely long emails just to criticise you and put you down, the kind where you go into office in the morning with a happy mood and when you see the email from senior, your whole day is ruined - my own experience with line manager: my LM has never talked to me, even for feedback sessions, except for my last day in EY. To be very honest, a good manager is important in your first few years of career
