Ernst & Young ranks among Consulting’s Best Business Advisory Places To Work
New York,31 August 2010 — Ernst & Young LLP announces that it is listed among the top five Business Advisory Services firms in Consulting magazine’s “Best Firms to Work For” in its 2010 ranking. The ranking is based on a survey of employees’ attitudes about their workplaces. The full list and related stories appear in the August 25 issue of Consulting.
“We are proud to be named among the top five business advisory firms and will continue to strive to be one of the best places to work in this industry,” says Bob Patton, Ernst & Young LLP’s Americas Advisory Services practice leader. ”This recognition is especially meaningful as it is based completely on the responses of our employees, recognizing the value they add every day to our firm and our clients.”
Now in its ninth year, Consulting’s “Best Firms to Work For” survey drew nearly 8,000 responses representing approximately 200 firms. Each respondent provided information ranging from professional background and work experience to corporate culture and work-life balance. The survey was segmented into categories covering: About You, Work Life, Career Development, Leadership, Culture and Compensation. Responses were evaluated by the magazine’s editorial team.
“Today’s companies are operating in a highly uncertain environment, which brings both risk and opportunity to the workforce,” says Patton. “These results not only underscore the importance of recruiting, developing and retaining the best and brightest in the industry, but also reaffirm our commitment to creating a collaborative culture that makes Ernst & Young such a great place to work.”
