    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • I really enjoyed it and the program is amazingly planned, from morning to afternoon, especially the speed network. Every five minuetes we need to switch from one table to another and we are given the chance to talk to managers, recently joined employees and it gives you a really insightful overview of EY and the details about its service lines and departments.

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • People are really nice and they are also friendly. EY especially in London is quite international. People are from different universities, different disciplines and diversified cultural backgrounds. We also have the same interest in financial services and EY, so the whole atmosphere is socially friendly and intellectually stimulating and curious. It is also inspirational listening to other people’s ideas about the case study in the program.

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • EY covers the whole cost of transport, food and residence, they also give us a pack with all information we need. Every table has a table host so that EY can make sure that no one get lost during the program, I think it is a huge investment from the company’s side.

    5/5

  • 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?
  • A lot. In the first day’s speed networking session, we can talk to people from different service lines and departments and we can truly ask them for their day to day routine and the challenges that they are facing. It is insightful and it can help us understand what is like to be working at EY.

    5/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • EY’s culture is building a better working world and I am fascinated by its 2020vision plan. I personally experienced this company culture and I am amazed by it. Everyone here are so professional and in the mean time friendly, they are open to any questions and they explain our technical doubts quite well.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • It is indeed a helpful insight program to decide my future career path. I started to be interested in advisory and tax service line and I will pay more attention to these industries in the future.
