About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is one of the world’s largest professional-services organizations and a member of the Big Four accounting firms. It provides assurance, tax, consulting, strategy, and transaction services to businesses, governments, and institutions worldwide. EY’s Global Delivery Services centers support international teams through capabilities in audit, technology, analytics, finance, risk, and business operations. In the Philippines, EY has a significant presence in Metro Manila, including Taguig, and employs professionals serving clients and EY offices across global markets.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers professional opportunities in business services, accounting, audit, technology, IT support, healthcare, engineering, education, tourism, and multinational shared-service centers. Metro Manila, especially Taguig, Makati, and Quezon City, has the broadest employment market, while Cebu and Davao are important regional hubs. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, and English-friendly, with strong traditions of hospitality, festivals, music, and diverse regional cuisine. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living and modern malls to affordable coastal and mountain communities. Foreign nationals usually need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit; requirements depend on nationality, role, and contract, so immigration advice is recommended. Relocating employees should budget for housing, transportation, health insurance, and humid tropical weather. Public transport can be crowded, while traffic and typhoons require practical planning.
