  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • Ernst & Young were really supportive throughout my internship. I had a buddy who was really helpful and he reguarly checked how I was getting on throughout my internship and he answered any questions that I had. My counsellor was also really helpful and she was generally interested in how I was getting on.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • I was kept quite busy but this meant that I was exposed to lots of different areas of the job, which gave me a really good insight as to what the graduate job would actually be like.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was really pleased with the level of responsibility that I was given. I visited 3 different client sites during my internship, where I was given responsibility for certain sections within the audit and I was also given the opportunity to talk directly to the management at the client site.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I learnt a lot throughout my internship and I was able to develop many skills, such as presenting at time management as I was given a project to complete throughout my internship, which I presented at the end to some of the partners and department. This was a really useful experience.

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • People invested there time explaining things to me throughout my time there. And all of the interns were able to go to a final party in London at the end of the internship which was a lot of fun and it was a great way to end our time there. This was fully paid for and made us feel rewarded for our work throughout the summer.
