    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

  • Staff were friendly and questions could be asked whenever I want.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I gained insight into the work that EY do in Assurance and Tax as well as briefly experiencing it myself, which might prove very helpful for a future in professional services.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was generally very well-packed and informative, but they could have possibly spreaded out the activities more, perhaps for another day.

  • All participants and staff were very friendly and helpful.

    5/5

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • We heard a lot about from the staff about what the company does, although we never actually saw it for ourselves.

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • Again, we heard from the staff about the culture working in the company, but we never actually saw it for ourselves.

    4/5
