Employees say:
"Nearly every single person at the company is a hard worker and looking to learn as much as possible and advance their career, whether that's internally or externally. This makes it possible to trust others to get their work done which makes doing your own job much easier. It's also a great community; when there is down time in work it's clear that everyone in the office is excited to have time to socialize and get to know each other better. Management is also always looking out for the people working on their teams. Whether it's making sure they're doing well in their personal lives or trying to help them advance in their personal careers, management seems to take a great sense of pride in how others at the company are doing."
Employees say:
"I have had the great opportunity to enjoy a Flexible Work Arrangement at different times and as needed to prioritize my family over the course of my 30+ year career. I have also had the opportunity to completely change functions/roles four times, which afforded me extensive career and personal growth. I have been financially rewarded commensurate with my contributions."
Employees say:
"I am proud to be part of this company. Not only are there professional and growth opportunities, but also they are committed to our well-being and always supporting our work-life balance. I also truly appreciate all the benefits including their dedication to giving back, either regular community service or their generous donation through matching program. These values create a positive and great work environment!"
Employees say:
"The people I work with take such care and interest in mentorship. There are formal and informal opportunities for mentorship, and these have made me feel I have a support system at work and people who believe in helping me grow. Also, we have several benefits that make me feel valued and support me. I utilize Wellhub (previously Gympass), Lyra for mental health counseling, and appreciate receiving and giving spot bonuses to recognize hard work in the moment."
Employees say:
"Above all else, the genuine care that my mentors and direct supervisors have shown (and continue to demonstrate) me across my various responsibilities makes me feel valued and celebrated for who I am, supported when times are tough (either at work or at home), and confident that this is, and hopefully always will be, the best place I could ever consider working. Coupling this experience with an environment committed to teaming and collaborating (and winning) means that the day-to-day experience I have feeds my personal and professional purpose and inspires me to achieve a more selfless approach toward enabling a "greater good" for the organization and its people."
Employees say:
"The culture of doing the right thing and caring about our clients and our people is second to none. As a client serving professional, I have the opportunity to see the culture at a wide range of other companies through my client interactions. There is no place I would prefer to be."

Employees say:
"I have had two children while being at EY, and the support I've had navigating motherhood and work-life balance has been incredible. I have come back after my second parental leave, and my boss has been able to accommodate my flexible work arrangement. I could not speak more highly of EY and how it has impacted my professional and personal life."
Employees say:
"EY is one of the best companies for family leave. They encourage parents to take time to bond with their new family members and find ways to help employees grow their family. The support we receive is definitely better than the majority of companies in the US."
Employees say:
"Benefits and the ability to try different things both within service lines and across them. EY offers opportunities to its employees that are likely hard to come by in other places, and is a great place to develop professionally in the business world."
Employees say:
"I feel very fortunate to work for EY. I was able to balance my work and personal life for 20 years while raising my daughter and taking care of my mother when she was ill, all while working remotely in unique roles. I'm proud to tell others I work for EY and appreciate all the opportunities, compensation, and benefits. I am a Wellness Champion, and feel the firm does an amazing job to ensure people have resources to help with physical, mental, emotional, and financial needs."
Big Four consulting giant EY fell 14 places on the list while weathering multiple rounds of layoffs, including dozens of partners in December.

Some teams are testing out four-day workweeks.
