DEY - Digital Disruption programme Review

It was a really enjoyable experience and you get to meet a lot of people and build a network with people from many different backgrounds and places. First day was heavily content based but the second day was more hands on with hackathons and a quiz which allowed us to work together in groups.

We had the opportunity to meet partners, senior members and people on the graduate scheme and we were given the chance to ask questions and get the information we needed. We were treated very well and were praised numerous times and felt valued overall by everyone no matter their rank.

There was plenty of support from the EY staff which were helping. They were each assigned a table and were really friendly and introduced thenseleves and helped out on tasks such as the hackathons and in general. They were happy to answer many questions and explain their like of work.

The information i reveieved will help long term as i have a better understanding of the different roles at EY and which areas i am more interested in. The skills of having to collaborate with different people and build networks which are really important will stick with me after been given the opportunity to develop them further.

It was well structured from keeping on time with everything and managing to fit everything in to having time for lunch and break. In addition to this, the social was organised well and gave us the opportunity to further carry on socialising with fellow peers and food was provided through out so it was well organised.

The atmosphere was really good during the insight and the only downfall would be the first day which was content heavy and it can feel a little to much but in general it was good and the social in particular the atmosphere was really good and thats credit to EY staff.

The company gave us an EY goodie bag with many different things in it such as a power bank and a water bottle to books and post it notes. Due to it being 2 days there werent much investment in us but they did re imburse travel costs if needed.

The insight helped to understand what it was like to have a full time role by allowing us numerous opportunities to ask questions to the different EY staff in all different sectors and lines of work. From EYX to EY staff it was very content heavy and definitely gave us an idea of what it would be like.

The insight helped me understand the company culture as this was told to us through out about the different backgrounds and different people working at EY and how the heierachy is not as important and how all staff no matter the rank are respected and valued by everyone including partners.

The contnet was very valuable as especially the first day it was content heavy with a few presentations from EY staff working in different lines of work and different sectors which expplained the different career opportunities and gave an insight into each of them in order to see which is right for you.

All travel was reimbursed up to a limit provided you provide the correct evidence.

There were plenty of opportunities to meet fellow EY staff and network with them during lunch and breaks and during question and answer panels with a variety of different service lines and different ranks. Over the two days we got to meet various stuff in terms of positions from partners to graduate schemes.

These were really good as there was a social which was organised.

Yes there are many different societies available to join once apart of EY.

I definitely would recommend this insight week to a friend.
