    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The presentations gave just the right amount of help to push us in the right direction. If we ever strayed from the task or were struggling, the facilitator was there to help give us a few pointers.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    The Company

    5/5

    5/5

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • Helped show the different routes I could take in E&Y. Opportunities were fantastic, and the videos to describe each section were well documented and provided great in-depth detail.

    4/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?
  • Reimbursed travel expenses if required.


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • Other than the facilitators, the two managers who gave their time to become a 'client' during our case study session were extremely helpful. After the session, they happily answered questions about their career and how they got to where they are.

    4/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • Really helpful to see how diverse the company was and how so many different opportunities can arise no matter your position.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • Not as in-depth as the work-oriented activities but still helpful. Possibility for transfers and moving into other countries etc was brilliant.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • Without a doubt. Fantastic opportunity.

    5/5
