EY's values describe a work culture of "people with energy, enthusiasm, and the courage to lead.

And, if you are entering into a leadership position, EY has some statements letting you know what to expect as well: "Making the jump to an esteemed leader does not happen overnight. We're here to equip today's leaders with the right tools to navigate complexity. Successful leaders undergoing the process of identifying with a new role should seek to understand the psychological shifts required in their thinking, behaviours and identity in order to be better aligned to their role. Organisations must value leadership development, disassemble the barriers that new leaders can face as well as create a culture where leaders can prosper."
