About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, tax, strategy and transactions, and consulting services. Its consulting business helps organizations improve technology, cybersecurity, digital operations, risk management, finance, and business performance. EY Global Delivery Services teams in the Philippines support international EY practices and clients through specialized capabilities in technology, analytics, cybersecurity, finance, and business operations. The company operates in a highly structured, client-focused environment and typically offers employees access to multinational projects, professional training, certification support, and career mobility. EY places strong emphasis on integrity, teamwork, inclusiveness, quality, and developing professionals who can work across countries and industries. The Taguig-based role is part of this global delivery network and may involve collaboration with colleagues and clients in different time zones.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers technology and consulting opportunities mainly in Metro Manila, particularly Taguig and Makati, with growing hubs in Cebu and other major cities. Demand is strong for cybersecurity, cloud, software engineering, shared services, finance, and business-process roles. Filipino culture is generally welcoming, relationship-oriented, and English is widely used in professional settings. Lifestyle costs vary: Metro Manila provides extensive dining, shopping, and international connections but has traffic and higher housing costs; Cebu and provincial areas offer a slower pace and often lower expenses. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, while applicants should confirm current requirements with Philippine authorities. Relocating professionals should budget for housing, transport, health insurance, documentation, and possible tax obligations. The country’s beaches, islands, food, and outdoor activities make it attractive for expatriates, although weather, congestion, and seasonal typhoons should be considered.
