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.

Pros

Great exposure to industries, business and branding Career progressions and prospects to climb the ladder

Cons

Inconsistent way of work Poor Management especially at Managerial and Senior Management levels: To be fair EY is a mixed bag of excellent Senior Managers and very poor ones. They love referring to the bell curve for this. Good Senior Managers are overstretched and overworked, the poor ones wreak havoc on the teams they oversee and impacts employee retention. Everything you read about it is true: inconsistent way of work, bullying, expectations of working all hours into the night due to selfishness and poor management, unclear direction, petty behaviour, quiet firing, making work inhospitable for its employees. I have no advice to management for this since EY has already decided on its priorities - it is delivery first, everything else second, Despite what HR efforts espouses on Mental Health and Work Life Balance, unless there is a concerted effort from the top to align what is preached to day-to-day work life we can expect no changes. This is why EY continues to be a corporation - a revolving door of employees driven by the brand name and opportunities it brings, but exit-ers sick of the way of work. You may measure your life on these terms, if you are okay with the trade offs, join. If you are not, best to give it a miss.
