    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I enjoyed the whole programme immensely. I found it inspirational, insightful and super helpful and friendly. Everybody on the programme hosting was incredibly nice and I have made many close friends as a result. I learnt more about myself taking to Mary for 10 seconds than 10 years of my life.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • EY went out of their way to organise fun evening activities for us every night, I genuinely felt valued by the firm and really appreciate their time and effort invested into us.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • A lot! From peers and from 'facilitators'. We received a lot of feedback and ways to improve our leadership skills in a positive encouraging way.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Skills for life because it taught me how to be taken more seriously in the work place and when working in a team environment. The whole programme was very self improving.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Brilliant! There were regular breaks and fun activities in the evening, however the only slight negative was that it left little free time just to be at one with ourselves.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Brilliant! Everybody felt comfortable with each other and there was a very happy environment.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • SO SO MUCH! I really appreciate all the hard work EY (Katherine, Olivia etc.) put into organising this programme. And Mary's team were great, even offering us support for after the programme.

    5/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I'd say this programme was mainly focused on self-improvement and less throwing 'EY' at us. That's the nature of this programme though..'the Leadership Academy'.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • By living in and spending days with EY staff I really learnt about the company culture.

    5/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It focussed us on thinking about our vision of our future, it did not push us to join EY.

    3/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • We had a facilitator/team coach who was an EY worker. There as also a dinner where more EY workers joined.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Very yummy.

    4/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Really got to become friends with the EY employees.

    4/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • 100%, no doubt about it.
