The office

Our office in Rotterdam is located on the Maas with a view of the Erasmus Bridge. If you drive along the Boompjes in the morning, you can see the city awakening by the Maas. Around 400 people work here, yet there's a friendly atmosphere as if everyone knows each other. Upon arrival, you'll receive a warm welcome. The office is within walking distance of the city center, making it easy to have lunch outside or take a walk along the Maas. The restaurant on the first floor is known within EY for the delicious fresh and healthy lunch prepared by the chef and his team every day.
