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

    • A huge investment by Ernst & Young into the Leadership Academy which no other companies provide at the moment. It was completely about us and not about recruiting us to Ernst & Young. They completely wanted to make us stronger leaders and more rounded individuals.
