Pros
You receive standard EY employee benefits. You have work-life balance but that's because there is almost no work to do most of the time.
Cons
The SDC system is not meant to be a long-term job and the people hiring are aware of this. Mass hiring with low pay when there is little to no work to distribute makes each day feel drawn out and you find yourself watching the clock every second. There is 0 growth because they don't really teach you anything. What you're taught are simple skills that are just a part of a much larger skillset required to complete an assignment someone in a practice office does on a daily basis. Management is beyond awful and the staff knows. They encourage speaking up about issues you're having but instead they throw it back at you and make you look like a bad person. So the best thing to do is be quiet and pretend to be on the good side. The pay is way below industry standard. There is a clear unequal treatment for the staff. EY's a good company but its SDC offices are not treated as equals to the standard offices. NEVER work here because you'll find yourself looking for a new job a couple months in and eventually be out in less than a year.
