    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I really enjoyed my time on the internship - it was varied and stimulating

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

    • This is definitely the best part of EY - the people! I felt respected and valued as though I was a proper full time employee.

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

    • I never felt like I couldn't ask any questions and everyone was super friendly and helpful.

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

    • It varied depending on the engagement but even on 'quiet' days there's always things to do that are interesting!

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

    • I pretty much had as much as I wanted - if you're keen to get stuck in then they will be keen to let you!

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

    • Not particularly relevant for my degree but hugely helpful in terms of CV building and aiding my future development.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Busy but friendly! Everyone always asks if you want a drink and says hi when they arrive. You feel comfortable to ask anyone anything.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I had a schedule set out for me which filled the whole six weeks which was planned in advance. Some of the engagements fell through to unexpected reasons but I feel that I got a realistic picture of what working there would be like so I didn't view it negatively.

    4/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I didn't have any exact training but I did pick up a lot of skills that will really help me when starting as a graduate. To be honest it's just one of those things that you need to learn through doing!

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • They were ok - not sustainable long term as I stayed in temporary accommodation.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I don't know!

    3/5
