What's consulting life like at E&Y these days?

I'm at one of the other big 4 - it's OK, but not great. I've been hearing good things about E&Y. Is it true?

It depends on where you go in EY. I've worked for F&PM for about 5 years, and things really seemed to be going from bad to worse under the old IBM guard. Most of these got put out to pasture over the last year, and things have really started to turn around under Ben. The last few ex-IBM and ACN tw*ts will hopefully follow suit soon.

Still plenty of people on the bench, and mainly government work but some private sector starting to come back in again.

... question was aimed at the Advisory Services Business. About 600 consultants, I think.

F&PM form the largest grouping within Business Advisory Services, and are the dominant tribe. What part of BAS are you applying to?

Ha !! EY is a bloody nightmare. Just do a search here to see what others think of it. You would be better off joining PA Consulting
