    The Role

    • Great experience, learned a lot and the other interns made for a great atmosphere.

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

    • Never really felt like a real part of any sub-team.

    3/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Colleagues often left you to own devices to complete work but were available to help when asked.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I sometimes took on too much work; I will remember not to in the future its not fun !

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was responsible fully for searching for work as well as completing it. I feel I was given as much responsibility as any intern.

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

    • Commercial awareness developed may help me in my studies but mainly the soft skills gained and feel for EY should allow me to progress quicker than say someone joining straight onto the graduate scheme (I hope!).

    4/5

    4/5
