      - Salary package

      Cons

      - Work/life balance. None at all
      - Not the most supportive environment . Bias towards a very specific personality type
      - No clear set of responsibilities, which means work is just transferred downwards to the associate

      Advice to Management

      - Dictate a clear set of JDs and enforce it
      - Enforce work life balance by setting longer cases and sacrificing a bit of revenue to reduce attrition
      - Diversify the type of people recruited
      - Enforce a supportive environment for women to work in, and rules against sexist comments and behaviour

      Positive Outlook

      I worked at EY-Parthenon full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Worked at Mumbai and Singapore office for 2+ years - Mumbai office is young and vibrant, there is lots of teamwork, and management structure is quite flat

      Cons

      Mainly education-related cases.... rather difficult to get exposure to other sectors (for Singapore and Mumbai office). Singapore office tends to be more boring in terms of culture, but its just newly set up, so might get better over time

      Advice to Management

      Better work-life balance please! gender diversity also needs to be improved. More two-way feedback channels would be useful too for senior management to get a better sense of the ground sentiment

      I worked at EY-Parthenon (Less than a year)

      Pros

      - Industry leading compensation- both base pay and benefits
      - Entrepreneurial environment
      - Good reputation at B-schools
      - Fantastic travel opportunity (for single employees)
      - Great office culture

      Cons

      - ridiculous work-life balance
      - lack of diversity in industry exposure (mostly education)
      - Far too much travel (for married employees)
      - Now, the association with EY!
      - Terrible review process

      Advice to Management

      The management must really pay attention to employee fatigue. Firm needs to take on work based on ACTUAL available capacity instead of throwing consultants on multiple projects at once
