    The Role

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • Was assigned a buddy and counselor and intern manager who were always checking up on me to see if I had enough work or if I had any problems

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • It varied day to day, Mondays were generally boring since everyone is too busy catching up on emails to give you work but as the internship went on more and more people started coming to me to give me work.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The work I was given varied in responsibility. But I was lucky enough to not be given any photocopying or scanning!

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It really helped me realise what it is like to work in a big company like EY and what I like and don't like about the department I was working in. It has helped me decide what I want to do after graduating.

    5/5

    5/5

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
