With great challenges comes great people.
Taking on great challenges early on in your career can seem daunting, but Alexandra explains that having a team you trust and feel safe with is key to keep motivation and confidence up. At EY Parthenon you are allowed to try and fail early on, and you never work alone. The strong work culture goes beyond the office walls.
– I like to work together with people. That's what drives me a lot. Every Friday, we go on afterworks together and do a lot of fun activities also outside work. So many people are actually friends also outside of these office walls.
Magnus Ellström, partner at EY Parthenon confirms this.
– When we work together, we have a very flat structure. We all sit in the same office landscape and really try to exchange ideas and experiences across ranks.
And no matter your rank or position, a challenge is always welcome. Ellström welcomes young professionals to be curios, and never be afraid to challenge established ways of working. That’s the path to personal development and how we as a company can live up to our purpose “building a better working world”
– It's interesting to see over the course of a project or several years, how my colleagues are getting better and better in solving problems and also challenging me.
