    The Role

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

    • I really enjoyed my internship at EY, it was well organised and I always felt I had the support I needed. I was placed on a project straight away and was given a fair amount of responsibility from my team which allowed me to learn a lot from my time there.

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

    • I had a great project team who went out of their way to explain concepts and work to me. I never felt I was alone as whenever I had questions, they were happy to help. I was often invited to team socials which were really enjoyable and allowed me to get to know everyone really well.

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

    • On the internship I had a buddy and a counsellor who I spoke to often. I met with my counsellor pretty much every week to discuss my goals and to see how things were going which was a great support.

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

    • It definitely varied but as the internship went on I was given more and more responsibility so the days got longer but I never felt I was too busy.

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

    • Quite a bit as I was working on a client deliverable by myself, but my team often reviewed it and would point me in the right direction if needed.

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

    • I learnt a huge amount from my internship and developed skills which I have used since. I was so grateful for all the training and support I received and the internship showed me how friendly EY's culture is.

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

    • The induction involved a fair bit of training but most of the training was done on the job. My team were always keen for me to understand all of the work I was asked to do and more.
