EY Leadership Academy Review

I really enjoyed my internship at EY. Everybdy was friendly to me and I got a lot of insights I did not expect. The internship was really valuabe to me since I now realise what it actually takes tob e a consultant and how reality correlates to prejudices against consultants.

During my placement I felt really valued. My work was really appreaciated, especially since I put in a lot of effort, For this reason, my work was actually used as a basis to consider further actions. In total I was an integrated and necessary part of the team which in my opinion is key if you want to learn a lot.

During the insight, I received a lot of assiantance from other people in my workplace. Even people I did not know were immediately offering their help once I looked a bit lost. On the contrary, people even approached me once they realised what my strengths are. Also employees of higher rank were very open and communicative to me.

Concerning this question, I am not quite sure. Of course I learned a lot which is valuable. However, since I am not exactly sure what to do in the future as of right now, I cannot really tell. On the unviersity side, this internship was definitely beneficial, since I know that the techical skills and concepts acquired are part of the studies or may at least help me solving problems in my studies.

The insight was well structured. I had to follow a clear shedule but was allowed to be free when it comes to assigning my personal resources. The staff was prepared to spend time with me and thus was never hesitant to help me out whenever needed. I am astonsihed about that, especially because consultants meticulously track their time.

I was very surprised about the general atmosphere at EY. I heard from experiences from other students that the atmosphere will boring and nothing exciting. Yet I have met incredible smart people who were working for EY or joined the Programme as well. Hence, in my view the atmosphere was awesome.

They cared about every intern that was there and tried their best to show the company from their best side. Everything was planned well and to provide us attendees at the programme a great experience that will benefit us as individuals (growth of skills) and to provide us information about what the company does.

Being present at the company itself, talk to people at EY and to listen to their company presentation definitely helped me to gain an understanding of what it would be like to work for EY. However, I am not sure if I can say now if I want to work there later but it was a great impression nevertheless.

The company culture was easily sensible because the exposure you get from being at the EY for a few days. Every task, presentation or networking event was designed to let us get a feel for what it is like to work EY and what the culture is. This will helpful us to choose a career that will fit to our needs and so that we will not be disappointed later on.

I can definitely recommend this internship to anyone who is interested in a career in audit. Everything was well explained and can give you the information you need to decide on whether you want to pursue a career or not. Especially for us first year students it is a great opportunity to experiment and see what we like or what we do not like.
