Good on CV, lack of enjoyable work

Graduate Consultant (Current Employee) - United Kingdom - 11 January 2023

There’s no doubt that will do well having the name on your cv, and the qualifications with assurance and tax.However, as a consultant who has moved from STEM, I found that most of the work done could be simplified, and is made to sound complex by corporate jargon, which is likely true of the overall industry (FS). You may find a difference in other service lines (more tech focused) but I find the work in business consulting rather dull.

Great workplace but not my cup of tea

Consultant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 27 April 2022

Worked as a consultant. Everyone in the office was bright, professional and helpful. Management was great too, vacations and days off, as well as work from home, was never a problem. It’s just the nature of work and clients and lack of flexibility in thinking of the stakeholders involved that limited sense of purpose in everyday work.

Not ideal long term.

Senior Auditor (Current Employee) - Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh - 22 July 2020

For audit and assurance business line - EY UK actually cares about its people compared to the other big 4, however, in audit there is no getting away from the cons.

Pros

Supportive and approachable partners and management, cares about its people, gain good experience of client business and learn a lot within a short space of time

Cons

Not a viable long term career option for many, consistently overworked, underpaid, only good if you have no family life, management can do very little about cons, it's just the nature of audit, Get your experience and leave asap
