    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It was great but it was only 6 weeks which felt too short at the end. The time flew by and I didn’t have time to get a view of other departments as much as I would’ve liked.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • The team I worked with treated me like a normal member of the team and gave me real and worthwhile work to do. I went to two socials with my team which were really fun and made me feel like a real member.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • They advised us and supported us throughout the internship and we were checked in on regularly to ensure everything was running smoothly.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was busy the majority of the time as my team was very busy, however I know other interns weren’t as lucky and were waiting for work and seeking it all the time.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was responsible for the completion of lots of work that was vital to the team. I was doing work a graduate would do so it was valuable work that meant my contribution was valuable.

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

    • It won’t assist much in my degree but in the future and going into the working world the experience I gained will give me a head start at getting settled in and finding my footing.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Everyone in the office got on really well and everyone felt like genuine friends. The socials helped with this as it meant everyone saw each other in a chill environment where work wasn’t involved.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • It was very structured and organized. It’s a long running internship so they have the structure to a t. This meant it was easier to get the most out of the internship.

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

    • We were given lots of opportunities to learn and develop skills alongside our work. My team helped me get up to working level my spending time explaining everything.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • If I am offered a graduate position, EY would be top of my list. The department I was in wasn’t for me but the company won me over.

    5/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • The interns socialized regularly and we all made great friends. We also got to mix with people above us due to the socials.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I was living in London and had to rent. It was very expensive.

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The nightlife was okay but we didn’t go out clubbing much instead we’d go for drinks around Canary Wharf.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • I didn’t engage in trying to do this so I wouldn’t actually know.
