    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Thanks to the structure of the insight I could really experience how the team working on the project in EY looks like via experiencing it on my own. It was one of the experiences that I couldn't get during my university course

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • The team working supervised but not led bt EY leaders meant everyone could participate actively in all group activities. It was great!

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The EY leaders where everywhere around willing to answer all the questions we have. I personally really enjoyed the lunch breaks during which we could do speed networking with the other young people doing the interns in the company, listen to their personal story and ask very particular and individual questions.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The insight was aimed to develop the individual potential of each participant. The ability and skills tests helped me to specify which area I still need to improve, what are my strengths and how can I use them in everyday situations and in career development.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • Each subsequent part was stemming from the other. Although the insight was 'packed' with many different activities, we didn't even feel how fast the time is passing.

    5/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was great, generally due to the teams in which we cooperated and the supervisors supporting us throughout the whole day

    5/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • What was great during team working time, was the personal feedback from the professionals obtained at the end.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • I think due to the vast variety of the possible roles in the company, it was quite difficult to understand fully each role. However the activities helped significantly in better understanding.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • I think that the personal experience of the people working there and their stories were the best account of the company culture that we could be provided with.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • I think the content helped really significantly to be clear the possible skills and abilities to work for this company and therefore decide on the future career path.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • Yes, with people of different ages, different experiences and different univeristy background. I really enjoyed it.
