Stressful environment
Senior Auditor (Former Employee) - Kuala Lumpur - 13 November 2022
Staff underpaid, difficult to claim OT, a lot of work, managers blaming on staff without finding out the truth, management push you to work aggressively, need to work on weekends, bad for health

Good place to start
Audit (Former Employee) - Kuala Lumpur - 1 November 2022
EY is definitely a place that is fast-paced. Not for everyone but they do provide steep learning curve which I personally enjoy. Stress, of course but worth the experience.

Colleague is fine but management is terrible.
Tax Associate (Former Employee) - Kuala Lumpur - 4 July 2022
Colleague is fine but management is terrible. You can’t slow down. You can’t tell the management that you can’t keep up. No one (from the upside) is willing to listen.

Job enjoyment depends on team you are put on. If senior is good can be fun. No work life balance.
Audit Associate (Current Employee) - Kual - 23 May 2022
Job enjoyment depends on engagement team and seniors. If seniors are willing to spend time and teach can be fun. No work life balance. Tons of useless training wasting time. Instead they should spend the resources on hiring more people and try to keep the seniors so they're more seniors to guide the juniors.
Pros
Free coffee, good brand name
Cons
No work life balance, Bunch of pointless training, performance review is tedious, they should figure out a way to keep good seniors

Non-toxic but can be political
Associate (Current Employee) - Kuala Lumpur - 18 April 2022
Your performance is highly dependant on your managers. You may be putting a lot of hours to complete a task, but if your manager feels tht you are not putting enough hours, the perception lingers around the department would be that you are not having enough interest to grow. You are expected to self learn eventhough most of the things are learnt hands on during the engagement. Even if you're a first timer, you are expected to be Mr./Mrs Know-it-All. Nevertheless, bullying cases are rarely and almost none to be heard of since they hv a specific center for anyone to report such incident. Partners are knowledgeble and kind..but since the work itself is fast paced and almost everyone glorifies busy-ness as good performance, managers hv strong control over the no. of jobs you are assigned to and partners are too busy to listen to the staffs other than the managers.
