The Role
I thoroughly enjoyed the duration of my internship at EY.
I felt valued by most of my colleagues, both interns and seniors.
The advice and support given to me by my managers/buddy/counsellor exceeded my expectations.
I was always able to leave the office at a decent time but had a variety of work to do throughout the day.
I was allowed to do things such as present during meetings and give feedback on projects, although no major responsibilities.
Aside from assisting in my degree, it definitely prepared me for life after university in whatever career I may go into.
The Company
My colleagues made the workplace a fun environment
Fairly organised
Time was invested in me individually to make sure I developed my skills
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
Got a graduate job offer after the internship
The Culture
