Salary at EY Australia

I am happy with the amount of money I am receiving. I understand that at this stage of my career I know very little and am still learning the ropes, so am being compensated as such. This may be the case because I am living at home with my parents and have limited expenses. I understand that my colleagues renting in Sydney have to budget hard in order to achieve financial goals.

So far no bonuses of yet. Would prefer to have my pay stated without the superannuation as it is misleading to your actual income. Actual income stated is preferred as it allows for you to see the figure and manage the income more efficiently.

As a new graduate in the professional world, I am satisfied with salary/bonuses I receive from EY.

As a grad, the pay is a little unexciting. I live alone and I rent, so I certainly don't have lots of disposable income. Similarly to how you approach university (a few years of hard work and foregone income as a long-term investment in my career), I view my first few years at EY as a training ground that will pay dividends in years to come.

It is definitely higher pay nowadays compared to others at the same level less than 10 years ago

Pay is really bad, well below market value if I were to go to another company. I think EY is in line with other big 4 companies but for other companies it's quite low.

No bonuses and pay is minimum where it includes super

The remuneration is below market rates, however, there is ample opportunity to rapidly increase this.

In more junior levels the promotions are very standardised. The fact that promotions only occur once a year is out of touch with general market conditions and is very frustrating

The pay is alright but can always be better as its still peanuts compared to the banking and finance sector jobs. There is no bonus which is quite annoying

Generally speaking, there are no bonuses and the pay is as expected in a big 4

Pay is too low and bonuses are inconsistent within the team

As a cadet, due to a low base salary, consistent overtime seeming goes unrewarded.

I am satisfied with my pay, I have yet to receive a bonus. I have noticed that there are some large pay differences from team to team.

Huge pay disparities exist within the team, especially for those that are homegrown compared to lateral hires.

The salary is comparable to equivalent roles in similar firms. Salary increases are a result of merit and company performance.

The pay is low compared to industry and often is a key reason staff leave or look for work elsewhere. It often is frustrating when working very long hours.

Grateful to receive any income, but compared to industry it is lower. Bonuses and perks are incredibly generous.

Graduate starting salary is too low for tech-specific domains

Our service line does not get any bonuses. Pay is decent if you continuously move up the ladder, but hard to survive if you are a single parent on a grad salary

The free dinner and taxi after 8pm was good during busy season!

The best perks are the applause points and the discounts however they aren't that substantial and have not yet received any applause points.

The best perk I've experienced in EY is receiving wellbeing allowances to use on anything that I like.

It is fine. Nothing too exciting. $299 p/a wellbeing bonus is welcomed but not life-changing.

Wellbeing Incentive (best)

Best perks would be the applause system. It's a good system to be rewarded for hard work and it's easier to get than bonuses because there isn't as much red tape

Trips to clients if in certain departments. Great functions

There is no Gym reimbursement for staff in Perth so I'm quite annoyed about that. perk would be beers in the fridge but that's a minimal perk.

Applause points to purchase gift cards

Applause points are nice and good social events within the team

Gift vouchers for tracking wellbeing. I have already received over $100 in vouchers after a short amount of time.

There is a reward scheme where employees can chose from a variety of vouchers from large retailers.

Discounts on stores and the work functions

Free team activities (painting, diy cooking kits), free lunches

Free drink events which are common

Free monthly dinners

Team and 'Family' events - staff of different rank right through to partner go out for events such as bowling or mini golf to help open the lines of communication, Christmas parties, firmwide events, quiz nights etc.

We get end of financial year team lunches, workplace parties in July and December, dinner and taxis when we work late and dinners for special events like winning new clients.

After 7, dinner and ride home can be expensed back to the company. There are company events that are free e.g. Christmas Parties, there is also a Social Club (fee can be paid upfront or paid each month out from our salary) If you are travelling for work, the traveling budget is pretty generous and can be expensed back to the company.

Free dinners - we have a big dinner once every 2 months
