Can you explain a little about day to day life in the office? Do you have social clubs to make friends and play team sports outside of work? I would also like to know if you help any charities?
I know of other companies that do this - do you?
Thanks!
Courtney
Hi Courtney
Thanks for your message.
Whichever service line you work in at Ernst & Young, you'll find an environment of collaboration and support; a culture where you’ll be comfortable seeking the help of others throughout your development, with the opportunity to gain new perspectives, knowledge and ideas. Everyone at Ernst & Young sits in open plan which encourages open communication and allows you to create strong relationships with your colleagues.
A typical day at Ernst & Young varies, one day you could be out working at a clients site, the next attending a personal Learning and Development day.
The Sydney Ernst & Young office has a gym on-site and most recently the gym organised a 4 week bootcamp which I participated in. The bootcamp was a great way for myself to meet people from all the different service lines. The gym offers its members a wide range of different classes that you can particpate in another way to meet new people. There are also other opportunities for you to get invloved in team sports such soccer, netball and touch football.
The Ernst & Young Foundation was formed in 2004 to provide a focused approach to our commitment and involvement in the community, and to contribute to the social issues Ernst & Young people care most about. We offer support and work with charities to provide practical and effective assistance through financial giving, volunteering, pro-bono professional services and mentoring. Each employee has the opportunity to get involved with their charity of choice. For example next week I'm attending an Ernst & Young Foundation meeting on the opportunity for myself to become involved in a young adult mentoring program.
