Leading Women Intern Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight at EY and I felt that I was exposed to an honest depiction of what day-to-day life at the firm is like. I found employees to be very friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of social and networking opportunities on this insight which I found to be very enjoyable.

Very well valued. The employees that I had the opportunity to shadow instantly made me feel a part of the team and put me at ease. They were all extremely welcoming and willing to take the time out to explain whatever it was that I didn't understand. I was able to work on real cases and this made my experience valuable and productive.

There was plenty of support and guidance during my time spent at EY. I was assigned a buddy for the duration of the insight, who checked in with me daily. All of the 'leading women' that we had the opportunity to shadow were supportive and provided us with plenty of practical advice.

The skills development and information received will certainly benefit me in the future. The skills I developed include refining my attention to detail and developing my confidence to ask questions. Both of these skills will benefit me in my degree. Moreover, within only a week I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge about the sector in which EY operates and this will benefit me in future interviews.
