Insight intern Review

Discover EY was a very enjoyable 2 days which gave a real insight into EY as a firm, as well the tax and assurance sectors more specifically. Everybody at the firm was incredibly warm, kind and welcoming and gave a lot of valuable advice and information about their time at the firm.

As said above, everybody was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We had talks from many employees who all seemed keen to meet us and as though they would like to eventually work with us at the firm. We also had a networking lunch and dinner with such friendly employees, who were as keen to find out about us as people as they were to provide us with information and answer our questions.

The organisers of the insight were always on hand to support/answer any questions and the entire event was very slickly organised. We always knew where we should be and what we should be doing. Any problems we had were dealt with immediately, with support and kindness.

We took part in a client exercise which provided us with a valuable insight into the skills needed for a career in the tax/assurance sector. All the employees (from graduates to partners) were keen to share their ideas of what makes a successful employee and what we could do to ensure our skills match what EY is looking for.

Perfect.

I met so many lovely people on the insight, it was well organised and well thought out. We all felt comfortable and welcomed and enjoyed the 2 days thoroughly.

Excellent.

As already said, we were provided with the opportunity to chat to many employees at EY about their current roles, how happy they were and what was involved in working at the firm. We were given an insight into the every day life of people across many jobs and roles, from graduate to partner.

Company culture was spoken about a lot throughout the 2 days, and it seemed to be an element that employees wanted to stress. They all said how lovely every single person they worked with is, and how much they enjoy EY as a company. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and everybody is helpful.

I am now looking to do a placement year with EY, as I liked the firm and its culture to such an extent. After a placement year I would hope to enter a career at EY, so the programme was extremely helpful in helping me to decide what to do and where I would like to do it. It also gave insights into other areas of the firm.

No problems at all.

Many, many opportunities.

Excellent. The networking lunch was a pleasant informal affair and the networking dinner was extremely well organised. The employees rotated tables, giving us the opportunity to speak to many different people across a range of roles. All were friendly, open and obliging.

We discussed many socials including trips abroad and sporting teams.

Definitely.
