Has there been any changes in the organisation since then? Are the leaders making any efforts to boost employees morale? Or is it back to usual?

Any update on the EY case

Software Developer

During my recent post interview interaction with EY HR, I had a horrible experience!
They’re insanely inhuman and disinterested in your concerns.
All they want is to close position and fulfil business needs!
However the role and my experience interviewing with the panel from business was very nice.
Now I’m on fence, whether to join or not 🫤
Suggestions?

Lets start a chain, Anyone looking for a job chain and not going to join EY for any reason, make sure whenever you receive a job opportunity call from EY for any openings, make sure to tell HR that you are not willing to join because of the work culture you heard after Anna’s case happened.

Lets unite and call it out loud. Together we can make a change

Need help from you guys. I had given my second round of interview in EY two weeks back. I am yet to hear from them and this week I received a call from TA for the same position. The TA member wasn’t aware that I had already given the interview. I am just wondering what’s happening.

Finance Operations

Hi,

Currently, I work with the analytics team of The Smart cube, which was acquired by WNS. Since, the acquisition things have gone really downhill.

I have received an offer from EY GDS and upon research I have got mixed reviews. I am not sure of what I am getting into. 

Can you guys please share your perspective and help me?

Thanks

Could you please clarify if i do digital signature and accept the offer letter from EY company, implies that once accepted and unable to join, any issues may arise? Additionally, is there a policy where once accepted but not joined, future access may be restricted? like not allowing to join next time in EY?
please suggest.

Dear all,

As you all would be aware, since yesterday, several messages regarding our firm have been circulating on WhatsApp and other social media platforms. These pertain to the tragic passing away of Anna Sebastian on 20 July 2024, who joined us in our Assurance team in Pune on 18 March 2024. The fact that her journey with the firm was so short-lived - only four months - makes this tragedy even more poignant for all of us.

Anna hailed from Kochi and worked at our Pune office. During the difficult period following her passing, the firm was in regular contact with members of her family. While we acknowledge that no measure can compensate for the loss experienced by the family, we have provided all the assistance as we always do in such times of distress while respecting the family's privacy and preferences.

Though no words can comfort a grieving family, I have personally expressed my condolences and have shared my deepest regret for their irreparable loss. I received an anguished e-mail from Anna's mother and have taken note of her message with utmost seriousness and humility.

I would like to reaffirm to all of you that our firm places the highest importance on the health and well-being of our people, and we will recommit ourselves to providing a supportive, healthy, and balanced work environment to you all. I would like to make this an on-going dialogue with you to ensure we are continually building a healthy workplace for everyone.

We have several well-being programs and open channels of communication available in the firm to ensure that you always have a safe space to voice your concerns anonymously, including through our existing Speak Up forum and Ethics Hotline. We will also create more avenues for you to share transparent and honest feedback on our workplace practices.

If you ever face challenges or need guidance, I will strongly encourage you to please reach out to your team leaders, members of the talent team and your support network across the firm. I would like to personally assure you that when you speak up, you will be heard with empathy and understanding. If there are any suggestions that you have, please don't hesitate to let me know.
In the meantime, I urge you to handle this information with the utmost compassion and sensitivity.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Warm regards,
Rajiv
Chairman - India region
