    About You

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

    • I really enjoyed the programme. Though it was a little dry in parts, it was extremely informative and I learnt loads about EY, Tax, Assurance and myself!

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

    • Felt very welcome but of course, it being only 2 days you dont make any valuable connections.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

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

    • I wouldn't say my degree will be benefitted by the programme but I hope that my participation will stand me in good stead for progression with the company.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very well structured. There was a clear timetable for both days which was adhered to.

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

    • Really friendly and welcoming. They were clearly out to impress us and it worked.

    4/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • It's only an insight. While there was training, they weren't really investing in us too much at this early stage.

    2/5
  • 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?

    • Really great first person understanding. Really liked how they had employees from our university's and people who were only a few years ahead of us so that we could really track our future progression with the company.

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

    • So much! While I'd read about the famous EY culture it was brilliant to see how happy people were to work there first hand. Really lived up to expectations - sold!

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

    • I'm still not 100% clear on what assurance is. But the tax talk was very insightful and helped me decide that's where I'd like to start.

    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?

    • Yes lots but I'm not sure how useful any of them will be at such an early stage in career progression.

    3/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • They took us out for dinner on the Thursday night (all expenses paid) which was a really fun evening.

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

    • Yes lots! They have lots of sporting competitions, trips, socials etc. sounds like a lot of fun.

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

    • Yes if they are thinking about pursuing a finance career in the city. It was a little dry though so not for everyone.
