EY Employee Reviews for Executive Assistant

EY is a great place to work regarding flexibility of hours etc - good benefits and holiday entitlement, pay always seems to be slightly under that of other Big 4 and not transparent on pay grades. But overall a good place to work.

Relaxed culture supportive team

EA (Former Employee) - Birmingham City Centre, West Midlands - 4 July 2022

EY places an emphasis of attention on its staff and the culture of it workplace. ET is firever innovating and adapting people friendly processes. The pay is above city average and the workload is manageable. The only downside is its systems are over processed

Micro managed & unrealistic opportunities

Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 27 December 2021

Constant changes and increasing workload with very little help, unrealistic promotion sights with such a varied workload it’s near impossible to progress in any which way, any thoughts or suggestions not taken onboard unless your high up

Pros

Generous benefit options and annual salary review

Micro-Managed, no support or gratitude and wellbeing not considered

Great company to work for

Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - Canary Wharf, Greater London - 1 April 2020

I wish I never resigned from EY - my massive mistake. I would go back in a heartbeat 💓 I cannot find another company like it. EY tried their best to stop me from resigning and I wished I listened to them.

Horrible place to work for especially in BSC

Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - Birmingham, West Midlands - 4 August 2017

EY promotes itself on it's values. It has none. Especially in their BSC department. Where the power has got to the managements. There is no room for career progression, team morale is really low. Their salary does NOT match the market salary. No flexibility or consistency, management makes the final decision depending on who you are. One of the worse companies to work for!

Superb place to work

Float Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - London Bridge Station, Greater London - 2 March 2017

Learning to become a more proficient and confident member of a team. The hardest part of the job was coming to terms with the various time zones with which I had to deal with but it was a great learning curve and something I hope to do more of.

Proactive worker and a fun work place

Executive Assistant (Current Employee) - Birmingham - 23 August 2016

Once I started at EY I was put through a excellent training, learning how to use all the systems correctly. A Typical day at work is checking previous work, responding to emails, allocating work, responding to request from EA's, up to Partners. My co-workers are all very helpful and the office is an enjoyable place. A major bonus to this job is working from home. Work load can be very unevenly distributed

Pros

2 days per week getting to work from home
