EY Benefits

Non financial benefits stand out the most. A lot of learning and development opportunities, what you give will be what you get.

Decent benefits that are substantial

Very basic perks, no bonuses or proper incentive programs here so theres not a lot to motivate those that have been here for a number of years.

best thing: 40% off Nike during xmas.

Only base salary w super - no bonus component.

Pros: Flexibility, ability to buy up to 6 weeks additional leave, 14 or 18 weeks (depending on time at EY) paid parental leave for primary care regardless of gender.

External benefits such as health care, great social club benefits

The best things: leave, firm superannuation (with TPD, life insurance etc), heaps of diversity initiatives, able to work from home if it's appropriate and frequent opportunities to talk to health insurance providers, financial advisors etc at the office. The worst things: Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) has a lot of requirements around it (certain amount of hours per fortnight, capped, have to take in a certain period etc) so you can work overtime and not be compensated for all your time.

Great flexibility but pay packages are below market rates. The higher cohorts get below market but higher absolute pay packages which are sustainable.

Best: Salary continuance when sick and parental leave, flexible work Worst: poor base salary, minimal additional benefits, reducing number of perks like drinks or celebration meals
