The Role
EY made me feel very welcome, They always had activities for us interns and made a great effort to help the interns bond as a group.
I sometimes felt that I wasn't being that useful as I didn't know a lot about tax and they spent a lot of time teaching me basic things.
Through the buddy and councilor system I felt I was given a lot of guidance and help.
I varied a lot, I never had a reason to stay beyond the end of the day. There were some days that I had quite a lot of capacity too.
Everything I did was obviously checked and corrected, but I was given the same responsibility as a grad.
I learnt a lot of general business skills and excel skills that can be transferable across all business lines.
The Company
Very Lively.
Pretty well organised. I panicked about the organisation beforehand but once I arrived it was all fine.
We had a lot of lunch and learns
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing
The Culture
Everyone seemed to want to go out very often, everyone always had lunch together, There were also so many whatsapp groups.
It was Edinburgh so pretty expensive but less so than London.
In Edinburgh the nightlife is really good, we went out a lot as interns
A reasonable amount, we were only there for six weeks but we organised social events for the team and I know some people helped on the EY futures programme
