Summer Intern Review

As a summer intern, you are treated as if you are a new graduate joining the firm. Daily, seniors and associates will give you tasks that are a part of completing the audit. This helps gain familiarity of the documents required to complete the process and give you an overview of how it works.

My excel skills have increased drastically, as this is an application that I would rarely use in day-to-day life, and now I am able to perform various functions with ease. My collaboration skills have developed since working with a wider network and staff of a more senior level. I was included in all team discussions and was given the opportunity to voice my thoughts and opinions

The work I was given was real client work that contributed to the audit process, which shows a great level of trust and responsibility given to us by the associates and seniors at EY.

I had a buddy and a counselor who were my first port of call at EY. They were available whenever I had a query or question. They checked in with me regularly and made sure I felt welcome and settled. I also felt very supported by the team I worked with and I was able to reach out to them for support at any time

The office has a calming yet productive feel. Whilst you can tell everyone is busy, there is no feeling of stress or negativity. You can network throughout the day without worrying about stepping away from your computer. Overall, the culture is friendly and welcoming.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at EY and I am keen to return next year as a graduate. The staff are friendly and great to network with, as well as the other interns who were great to network with.
