Not a pleasant work environment

Pros

You may get decent client exposure depending on your position and your team's willingness to let you have contact with clients

Cons

1. Don't be fooled by the firm's "global image"; it is very much a Singaporean firm run by Singaporeans with your typical Singaporean work culture. Expect selfish people who will look after themselves first or blame you just to avoid any blame themselves. 2. Politics, favourtism are common. People will treat partners differently from how they treat associates (i.e. as inferior beings) 3. You will be expected to produce as much as you can while having as little resources as possible, such as budgeted time for jobs. 4. EY prides itself on its time-off-in-lieu system but depending on your schedule, you may not be able to clear all the time-off that you have accumulated. 4. In tax, expect inefficient, unintuitive processes which you are somehow supposed to be totally familiar with despite being a newcomer and which you are supposed to follow, just because "we've been doing it this way since 50 years ago". Very old-fashioned mindset prevalent, especially among management. 5. You will be treated as a worker more than a person. People prioritise their targets over you.

Pros

EY is a good name to work for. Unfortuntely, not everyone follow EY values in luxembourg. - You can learn the funds and how things work in EY Luxembourg. - Really depends on the team you work for. - They respect the people and it is more diverse than other big 4 firm.

Cons

-EY Luxembourg could turn out a scam if you want to invest in your career. Many managers, senior managers are not certified, they are just promoted and in process of studying ACCA. -Trainings are so aweful, during the trainings people work on there laptops. Salaries are lower comparing to other big4. -Policies are not so constant, they change from time to time, concerning overtime and process of approval for example. - Sometimes you feel the upper management tries to go cheap and does christmas party in a garage, - Consueling and conselor things dont really function very efficiently, its all politics. - EY is a great place to work, but you sometimes work with senior managers who dont live the values of EY unfortunately.

Pros

- Some colleagues do care about you and guide you along - You will be supporting a manager and possibly have one or two juniors supporting you - Close contact with clients - Alot of women in the firm or on the team to act as role models and seek advice from

Cons

- Numerous colleagues are very cliquish and can be quite mean/gossipy about others (it is like high school all over again) - Colleagues can also be mean to vendors or snatch resources away from vendors serving the same client instead of collaborating with vendors. I have seen one of our consultants barging into a room that a vendor was working in, plugged his laptop into the power plug without asking the vendor and broke the vendor's power plug into half! - Recruitment efforts for Singapore office focuses on local university graduates. I was appalled to see some juniors getting too full of themselves and misbehaved in front of clients when clients offered genuine feedback to revise our work.
