    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed this insight event as EY accommodated us well at the Hilton London throughout the whole 2 days. Moreover, there were EY employees around our desk with our throughout the 2 days which allow us to ask question and network throughout the event. The event was placed at Hilton London, just across the EY office which is convenient to reach.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I felt my time is very valued as I learnt a lot during the 2 days not only about the industry but more about EY, employees from different level came in and gave speeches introducing their division and talking about their career journey. From talking to people, we get to feel what's EY culture is like and the general atmosphere of EY.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Yes! Definitely, as there were at least one current EY employee from different division sitting with us throughout the event, all of them are quite junior so they give a lot of tips and tricks on applying to graduate jobs and what is like to work in EY as a junior member.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • There were lots of senior employees came in and talks about their division and their career journey. This helped us to know more information about the industry and help us to know whether the division suits us or not. The event helped us to plan out what career would we like to choose for the future.

The accommodation was provided for people that do not live in London or people who needed to travel more than 1.5 hours. They also reimburse travelling cost up to £150

  • There were plenty of networking opportunities in the Discover EY Women in Business Insight Programme. Firstly, there were at least 1 table host that is a junior level employee that works in the EY with us throughout the 2 days. And EY provides us with a speed networking opportunity on the second day, with employees from various divisions.

  • 5/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Yes, definitely. Attending the Discover EY Women in Business Insight Programme allows me to discover more about EY's culture and its division. Throughout the Discover EY program, I talked to different people in EY working at a different level, this ables me to understand EY more from talking to people work in the industry.
