EY Leadership Academy Review

Given information on Ernst & Young, network, and most importantly prepare and present presentations to a client. It was great fun and well worth my time.

Good. Very were nearly as many Ernst & Young employees working with us as there were people on the Insight Day, so it felt as a lot of effort had been given in on their part

They gave us the gist of what had to be done but let us do some unassisted teamwork on how to get it done. Then they told each of us what they thought we did very well on and what we could improve on

Giving us feedback on how well we did on the tasks I found really useful as I now know how I can improve what I did next time. Also when we used the fire, water and earth cards it was intresting to see what kind of person you were.

While we were initially unaware of the structure, it was clear that Ernst & Young knew exactly what would be happen, and we moved seamlessly from one project to another.

It wasn't anything like what I expected it to be, everyone was so friendly and the people running the insight day made you feel very relaxed.

Yes, there was constant evaluation of us which was given to us at the end of the day, which was really helpful.

There wasn't really a lot of information given about having a full time job, a lot was given about internships and placements, which would be next step anyways.

Quite useful, we were able to talk to some employees during breaks, who gave us a great insight into the company culture.

Travel allowances for train tickets

Some, mainly during the lunch break. However, there wasn't real planning for this. There was to mention though significant networking with the employees we worked with.

There was a good social event for the students present, but not necessarily as much with employees, other than the ones who we were working with.

A lot of volunteering opportunities and sport activities for employees

Yes, definitely. It's a great way to explore the firm and industry. Should definitely apply for it !!!
