The Role
The people were great and the work became more enjoyable as I became more familiar with it.
Very friendly and provided plenty of work to keep me busy!
Great support at all times
There were one or two days where I didn't have much to do but most of the time I had a good balance
The Company
Not actually in the office much; spent most of the time at clients' sites. Working atmosphere was great though.
very well organised. Everyone knew exactly what they were meant to be doing
I feel like I learnt a lot about the industry because of the responsibility we were given
Sports and Social Club
Company Parties/Events
Working from home
They aim to employ most of the interns
The Culture
We didn't spend much time together but EY made an effort to get us to build relationships by throwing socials and a party at the end.
Fairly average
Lots of clubs and bars near the office
yes, lots of CSR activities as well as socials and drinks events.
