Change it if it’s taking a toll on you. 
  
 Change that project, 
 Change that job,  
 Change that group, 
 Change that relationship.. 
  
 Be strong and prepared enough to walk away.

Happened with me in Accenture. Initially tried to change the project which didn't happen so left that company after 3 months of joining. The team made me feel like I am a failure for not able to handle the work pressure but I knew too well how they play this game. Now, I am taking a break for a while and focusing on my health.

This is why I always suggest prioritizing 
 work-life balance over money.

Recent EY saga with CA fresher is heart breaking. But it is happening everywhere. But how to stop it.- Grapevine

Just heard this story of an engineering(BTech) fresher who got an offer for senior risk analyst at EY Gurgaon. In April last year they were told that the joining will be soon. 

When the fresher reached out again in August then they said that it is being pushed to the beginning of next year(2024). But they haven't received an updated offer letter or any updates from the onboarding team.

I investigated internally and the current economy is why the dates have been pushed back again and again.

Regardless, I would recommend people to continue their job hunt. 

Do you think people should wait or find another job?

Sad reality. Anyone from EY here know about this? Any such examples of such toxic work culture at your workplace?

EY employee dies - company apathy

Sometimes, instead of chasing after these high-profile companies, it's better to find contentment in a mediocre company that does a good job and truly values its employees. I feel awful reading this. No one should ever have to face such a situation.

It’s high time that big 4 and other firms start recognising the importance of actual working hours!

When do we normalise to prioritise health?

Consultant

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?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

For IT freshers, a better option than searching for a job is to find ways of easy suicide. welcome Artificial Intelligent freshers welcome you whole heartedly. Thank you for giving us anxiety depression suicidal thoughts. Finally I would like to thank those hiring managers who have saved their precious time by ignoring the emails or LinkedIn messages of freshers.

The Cruel Realities Faced by IT Freshers: A Heartbreaking Reflection

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Is it true regarding EY India that employees work under too much stress that sometimes they get into serious health issues or passes away?

Tech lead

My manager has told me that I will not get an appraisal at all. This is because I did not have enough billable hours. What do I do? I was on bench for almost 6 months and I thought chilling is nice but this could potentially ruin my career as I can't find a job anywhere else.

Should I try switching to Infosys, Capgemini, Accenture etc? Can anyone tell me what these companies are like?

My life got fucked at TCS. Help me?

This is sad.

In the last 30 days, two Indian women lost their lives due to the failure of systems at their work place. An ideal work place should ensure safety and support for all of its employees. Due to the lack of safety and support,we have lost a doctor and a CA. As a society,it is our job to ensure that the government works on these systems and ensure that things don’t repeat. To make governments work people should question. As a society we have questioned the RG Kar case properly. But what about the EY case? I agree with the fact that sexual violence is an extreme crime which cannot be compared with a death due to bad work environment. But a death is a death and people should be held accountable for this crime too. We haven’t seen enough outrage in the EY case, as much as what we saw in RG Kar’s case.   Anna is really a hero, who survived the torture. The problem with India is, we don’t even acknowledge this. Doctors as a community stood up when the RG Kar case happened. Leave CAs or the entire corporate employee cohort, her own colleagues didn’t bother to pay a visit to Anna’s funeral. In the case of RG Kar, the head of the institute was questioned and tried. Here the guy from EY, just shrugged it off his shoulders, saying random nonsense. Sometimes I feel that Indian systems have exceptions for foreign firms. I have seen people blaming Anna for not being able to cope up with work stress, instead of questioning systems in action. These people are very similar to those people who say that, the r@p& victim should have learnt martial arts. When the opponent is big and strong, neither martial arts, nor stress management techniques work.Always remember,today it’s her. Tomorrow it can be you or your loved ones. Isn’t it our responsibility to fight for better working conditions? Isn’t it our duty to at least spread awareness about a bad work place,instead of blaming Anna for not being fit enough to survive?

RG Kar & EY, Why there is a differential treatment of these cases

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Recently, I had a mind-boggling encounter during a senior finance role interview at a prominent startup. After impressing the Finance Director and Controller, I expected an interview with CFO as a logical next step. Instead, I found myself facing an Independent Director—a puzzling addition to the process, especially with a CFO in place.

What baffled me more was the interview's focus. Despite the role's clear scope within India, the Independent Director bombarded me with international tax inquiries, completely unrelated to the position or the company's operations. It felt like a ploy to glean free consultancy for personal matters.

This experience left me questioning the rationale behind hiring protocols. Why subject candidates to irrelevant interrogations by individuals detached from the role's purview? It's disheartening to witness such a flawed process at the hands of those meant to guide a company's growth.

The absurdity of the hiring process

What happened at EY is not okay

I'll soon be joining EY as Analyst in Business Consulting PI, what will be the kind of work I'll be doing, as I am a computer science graduate I have no clue about the mentioned role, is EY good for freshers what about work life balance, there is no technical work involved like coding, should I go for a consulting role, I only have offer from EY at the moment and I am still not sure about it, as the career path would be totally different.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have been working at EY for the past 3 years (joined after the pandemic) and there's been suddenly a shift in their policies. 

Last FY has been really slow for the company and now they're doing all in their power to make people leave the company. 

For example, compliance about things which no one was bothered a single bit in the past 2 years has suddenly become an issue at every possible level. Be it to being in office twice a week or even missing to fill out your timesheets. There have been no replacements for everyone who's left the company in the last 6 months.

At the start it seemed like they valued talent but all rules and ethics seem to be thrown out of the room this year. Attrition is the mantra. 

With the upcoming appraisal season there are minimalistic hopes from the company. And all of the above seems like an effort to have excuses for poor ratings.

All of this seems like a tactic to make you quit yourself before they start firing ! 

I plan to leave this place ASAP
