Insight Day Participant Review

I really enjoyed the insight day, from the minute we were welcomed at reception to the client presentation at the the end of the day, it was just a great fun filled experience!

I felt very at home, the ice breaker session at the begin made everyone feel more at ease and certainly 'broke the ice'. It far exceeded my expectations.

Throughout the day, there was always a mentor on hand to help you with anything you needed. All the staff within were extremely friendly and genuinely wanted to help you. There was a lot of fun as well as business, as the mentor's were once in our shoes and know how it feels.

As it was only a day it is hard to say that it will assist me beyond my degree, however in terms of maximum learning and understanding, the EY insight day packs a punch and you certainly take a lot away from it. It really gets you excited for what you can achieve if your willing to work for it!

The day was seamless, it was outstanding the way the day was structured. We managed to eat, drink and carry out all activities, whilst seeing around the offices and being able to network! The EY team certainly know what there doing!

Overall, it was great fun, full of suprises and unknown adventures that certainly test people and their comfort zones!

The company paid for my hotel and travel! All the way from Glasgow to London, I couldn't expect much more! The company also want to nourish young talent and invest in it at early stages!

Not entirely, a day in the offices of EY is completely different to working their, it also depends on what service line you may wish to work in. However we did get a lot of information on what each service line provides.

Very much so, it really shows that EY is all about its people. All the staff members, whether it be in Glasgow or London are all so genuine and hard working, you can really see the diversity within each department which makes for great teamwork!

I think it will certainly have an influence and will make me think what I really want out of a career. As it was only a day I think you would have to partake in an internship to fully understand what it would be like to work in a specific department and that could maybe sculpt your future degree more.

I was reimbursed for everything! It was very efficient where I exchanged emails with an EY employee and it was all very simple and effortless. EY were very obliging to be willing to want to help me and the costs I incurred.

At lunch and throughout the day. I really felt that the networking oppurtunities allowed a good time slot to ensure participants could find out all they wished to about the staff at EY and what their day to day activities were.

At lunch it was very casual and it was just easy to chat to employees and interns. It allowed you to exchange details and find out far more information from a more personal level. Very hand tips and advice for the application process.

I found out EY like their staff to do a lot outside of work and be busy. There is great oppurtunities for EY staff to get involved in the commonwealth games in 2014 for example, volunteer and participate which is absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely, was very worthwhile! The insight day, is what it is says, an insight. It encourages you to work hard and to maybe think about applying for an internship at EY and look into the oppurtunities it can offer you.
