The Role
I really enjoyed the hard working but relaxed environment on the internship.
I felt I was given a lot of responsibility on the internship and that it was valued by the team I was working in. I definitely feel I contributed, even as an intern.
The support during the internship was brilliant, from mentors, to counsellors as well as meetings with HR. Everyone gave honest advice and wanted to support you in whatever you wanted to do.
I was busy, however I liked the atmosphere, where everyone worked hard but could also have a laugh.
I was given a lot of responsibility as the team I was working with was small. However, this was good as it gave me an insight into the work I would be doing as a graduate.
Although I do not think I learnt anything to help me with my physics degree, I think I have definitely learnt a lot that will help me in my role as a graduate, It was a very useful internship.
The Company

It was very organised.
They gave me the training I needed to understand the role.
Company Parties/Events
I would love to work for EY in the future, as they are a brilliant employer.
The Culture
Yes, there were frequent lunched and drinks after work.
Doable as the internship was paid.
It was brilliant.
Yes.
