    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Very much so, I feel I have made some good friends and enjoyed the nature of the work. The thing I have enojoyed the most is the variety of the work I have undertaken. For example I have been lucky enough to work on 3 different clients, attend training days, attend a corperate social responsibility day, shadow a partner, and attend the companies annual conference.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I have felt very valued. Initially I was given fairly mundane tasks such as condensing board meeting minutes, however I soon progressed onto completing complex excel files that were part of the final audit. For the majority of my time at EY I feel as if I was treated as if I was a full time employee there. I always felt as if there were people at EY who were grateful of my work.
