About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, consulting, strategy and transactions, and tax services. It works with businesses, governments, and institutions on issues including financial reporting, technology transformation, cybersecurity, risk management, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. EY operates in many countries and serves clients ranging from multinational corporations to growing businesses. In the Philippines, it maintains a significant presence in Metro Manila and offers opportunities across audit, consulting, tax, technology, and advisory services. EY is known for structured learning programs, professional certifications, cross-border projects, and exposure to a broad range of industries. Employees generally work in collaborative, deadline-driven environments where communication, integrity, analytical thinking, and continuous development are valued.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers strong opportunities in technology consulting, IT services, finance, shared services, healthcare, tourism, and business process outsourcing, especially in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, and relationship-based, with English widely used in workplaces. Life in Manila provides extensive career options, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, but traffic and housing costs can be significant. Cebu offers a more relaxed coastal lifestyle with a growing business sector, while Davao is known for cleaner urban areas and a slower pace. Foreign professionals usually need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit, and requirements can include an Alien Employment Permit and immigration documentation. New arrivals should arrange employment, accommodation, health insurance, and local banking before moving. Domestic flights and ferries make exploring the country’s many islands relatively convenient.
