    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • Much of the info given on the first day could have been found on the website. Also the descriptions of the different divions and sub divisions were quite confusing. The first day was mostly "lecturing"- the second day was much better as there were more activities and challenges, as well as an insightful panel discussion.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I felt as though the firm wanted me to work there, and was making an effort to give me useful information about the company. It would have been nice to do more hands on activities however (that mimic the sort of things that an ACP grad programme employee might do), and to have the event staged in the central office rather than at ETC venues.

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Guidance on next steps was good. However, guidance + acquiring knowledge on what a Summer intern might do and what their responsibilities are were not as well covered.

    4/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Most of the event was spent gaining information about EY rather than acquiring skills. Potentially some networking skill benefits.

    3/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Well structured agenda that was strictly kept to throughout the programme.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Good relaxed atmosphere amongst participants, however things fell a little flat on the first day particularly after having several hours of 'lecture style' seminars.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Very little investment at this stage in terms of skills, but gave knowledge on how to succeed at the assessment centre.

    2/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • Limited insight on the day to day responsibilities of an ACP employee.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • The warm culture came across well.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Didn't necessarily add to my perception of EY

    2/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • No reimbursement requested

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Some opportunities for networking with current employees at a social event in the evening and throughout the days.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Relatively open. However more time could be dedicated to this specifically during the days.

    3/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Brief mentioning of work socials.

    3/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes, useful as a step for Summer Intern programme, but not particularly insightful as a standalone programme.
