    The Role

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

    • Really great programme that was extremely well organised for the entire duration.

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

    • Very good group to work with - people appreciated input and worked well together.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Very good mentoring from EY staff and course staff, who continued to follow up after the course.

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

    • Always activities to do, however the balance was great between work and play, with a little bit of free time to ensure we could do our own thing as well.

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

    • Only an insight, so no actual responsibility.

    0/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The course was entirely focused on skills development, and there was actually very little focus on EY as an employer. Everything we learnt was transferable and applicable to work/life.

    5/5

    The Company

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

    • Good atmosphere, with everyone willing to have a lot of fun, do a lot of serious work, and often both at the same time.

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

    • Excellent planning for both work and social activities.

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

    • Absolutely great investment in us, with clearly very good (and expensive!) tutoring, lots of senior business contact, and really nice accommodation and surroundings.

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

    • Subsidised Canteen

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

    • People are offered a fast-tracked assessment centre after the academy, and the company seems like a great one to work with.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Really good social scene with everyone keen to get to know each other and have fun in the evenings, with organised activities, as well as casual ones like football.

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

    • Everything was paid for, so no costs!

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

    • Despite being in a hotel in the countryside, we were amply provided for with evening entertainment.

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

    • Good social activities in the evening.
