In this article, I will tell you about my work experience at Ernst & Young. I’ve worked in EY for almost 2 Years. My designation in this company was Software Engineer.
Initially, I struggled a bit as the tech I was assigned to work on (Cloud/AWS) was completely new, but the support I got from the team and my counsellor is truly appreciated. Let’s have a look at some key responsibilities during my experience at EY.
Key Responsibilities
- Implemented best practices for cloud-based software development, including version control, continuous integration, and automated testing, refining processes over the two years to optimize productivity and quality.
- Collaborated extensively with product managers and stakeholders for requirement gathering and prioritization, leveraging cloud-native principles to design robust and adaptable systems.
- Architected and designed scalable and efficient solutions on cloud platforms like Azure and AWS, ensuring alignment with business objectives and technical requirements throughout the development process.
- Also, mentored junior team members over two years, conducting regular code reviews and providing technical guidance and support, resulting in their professional growth and increased team efficiency.
- Expertise in strategic discussions on product roadmap and technology stack evolution, aligning cloud strategies with business goals.
So let’s have a look at some pros and cons of working for EY.
Pros:
- The first important pro is it gives good work-life balance to their employee.
- Provides more stability and job security compared to other big companies
- Invest in their employees’ professional development by offering training programs, mentorship opportunities, and career advancement paths.
- Provide a structured work environment with clear expectations, defined roles and responsibilities, and established processes and procedures.

Cons:
Though my overall experience was amazing it has a few cons as well.
