Insight week Review

very enjoyable experience, met a lot of new people from different back grounds and learnt how to work well in a team. A lot of the staff that attended the insight week were friendly and provided us with knowledge on their job roles and what their daily roles were. very insightful !

I received a lot of guidance throughout the week, we were constantly given feedback on ways to improve and things that we were doing really well that would should keep up. Also if we were struggling it was very easy to speak to someone and ask for advice or for additional support.

The program was very well structured , each day we were informed on exactly what we would be doing for the day an at the end of the day they told us what we would be doing the next day that included what we need to bring with us and what we would be required to wear.

The atmosphere was really warm and welcoming, from the get go you meet really nice people who are just as excited as you are to be there , everyone wants to learn so the energy is very positive and everyone is encouraging. we all wanted to see each other grow and develop

The firm invested a lot into training and development, the thought and effort that went into the activities is an example of how much effort they put into our training and development also they provided us with so much feedback on our progress that it was almost impossible not to develop.

It was very helpful we were constantly interacting with EY Employees from different divisions, they often explained their role and the hours and this really helped to show me which division I wanted to work in and really solidified my interest in it. so yes it was extremely valuable.

There were plenty of opportunities to network and meet the employees, our team leaders were EY employees. Also we had a dinner with one of the EY partners and more EY employees came along to the dinner, so there was many opportunities to network.

The networking events were very good, they were very relaxed and enjoyable the EY employees were very easy to talk to and very willing to answer our questions as thoroughly as they could. It was also a chance to find out how their work life balance was like and explore some of the hobbies they enjoyed outside of work. Also it wasn't just employees from the London office so gave people who weren't applying to London a chance to get some insight into other offices.

Yes a lot of the employees spoke about activities they do outside of work and how despite having a lot of work they were able to keep a good work life balance and EY respected that. All the employees I spoke to had one or more activities they carried out outside of work .

I would definitely recommend the insight to a friend, it is really good at not just giving you information on job roles but it also allows you to grow as an individual. You learn how to interact with people in a business setting, how to work well in teams and how to be an effective leader and you do all this while making new friends and developing life long friend ships
