Audit Review

Overall it was really enjoyable, you have to appreciate that it won't be thrilling all the time and you have to go through some boring parts to get to the good enjoyable bits.

The workplace was incredibly friendly. Everyone spoke to everyone else and always involved me in the conversations whether it be work or pleasure. I really felt part of the team from day 1.

Ernst & Young have a very strong support network for their interns, you have the person you are working with, then you have a buddy, a careers counsellor, and then the intern manager. All these people you meet and are very friendly. Any queries I had I could ask anyone of these people with confidence

Some days were slow whether there wasn't much to do, this was really down to clients dragging their heels. There were some days where you will work constantly from start to finish, these are the really good days!

Initially until they gauge your ability then the work is relatively simple, then its your responsibility to ask for harder work, or a different type of work. I was lucky where my supervisor noticed my accounting ability early on so was given I higher grade of work.

I think my accounting modules at uni assisted with my internship and likewise what I have learnt from my internship will assist me with my degree in my final year.

Leeds office was brilliant, everyone was so friendly, so much so I can't wait to get back there! When we were out of the office working as a team onsite, again its not all work we had a good group dynamic and managed to get the work done whilst enjoying ourselves

It was very well organised, I knew where I would be working and on what day, from the first day. The work on each of my jobs was not always quite so well planned but this was down to information not coming through from the client quick enough.

As it is only a 6 week internship the firm concentrated on giving you an insight into most things that you expect to encounter in the day to day operating of the job. There is an induction at the start which gives you a company overview and aides in your development.

I would jump at the chance to work for EY. The people that work there really make the place, and make it an exciting young working environment.

We all arranged to go out for a meal and drinks each week, this way we could discuss any issues that we had.

I lived in student halls and found this cheap and cheerful. Leeds is relatively cheap compared to the south in general.

Leeds has a superb nightlife, there is something for everyone there.

The company is very keen on charity participation and there is the opportunity to volunteer. There are office sports teams which would can join, and we were invited to join even though we were only there for 6 weeks!
