Depending on the leader, they will dictate the pace but that all boils down to how effective the message was communicated and how fast they can execute. In many cases, it worked well but with direction, in my time, for strategy undefined, it was a little all over the place.

The onboarding process is outstanding. You feel welcome straight of the bat regardless of level coming in. That was the most important aspect for me in as I recall what makes EY work so well.

I would recommend every EY country but Italy, which has too much a "local" approach

It creates a "WOW" factor when I note that I am an EY alum.

I was one of the first non-traditional hires at EY. I was offered a similar position with AC. I was asked specifically to bring a greater perception of thinking from outside of EY. My contribution was deemed highly valuable and was allowed to lead within hours of arriving on campus. I was assigned to a project two days after arriving and ultimately lead that engagement.

My experience included a very personal touch from the leader of my "family". His concern for my personal, physical, spiritual, emotional and financial development resides with me to this day and defines how I now lead.

Off all the "big 4" firms I've worked with or become familiar with, EY was by far the least impressive in terms of it's executive leadership integrity, senior management (partners) integrity and focus on the customer (internal or external), and positive culture. I observed and experienced a significant amount of pressure to conform to senior management opinions, 'not rock the boat' and validate existing plans over suggesting improvements. Many colleagues with whom I spoke while I was employed by EY expressed having similar experiences, though many of us were brought in from the outside specifically (ostensibly) to 'bring EY a fresh perspective and new ideas." Unfortunately I also saw several instances of poor judgment and questionable integrity by senior management (partners and principals) - for example, a functional leadership team joking in a meeting about taking disagreeable colleagues 'into a back alley and beating the s*!t out of them' and same-day termination of employment of senior level professionals (e.g. director and above) without having provided any corrective feedback, performance improvement plans or leadership coaching support. In essence, these boiled down to personal or highly emotional decisions. In my many years at PwC, while this may have occurred there, I never experienced that sort of callous treatment of employees. For me, all of these reasons lead me to assess EY as the least likely of my previous consulting firm employers that I'd recommend to others.

Big little guy??

I never really worried about overall compensation as I felt that my needs and wants were more than managed by E&Y's compensation structure. What was of greater value was the caliber of professional in which I interacted and the value of lesson's learned from the shared experience.
