    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • This was a really good experience and I am definitely glad I went on the course. The week was filled with like-minded people and I got on with everyone really well. The course was well structured and the organisers/facilitators were really helpful.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • The course was all about "self-assessment" so I felt extremely valued throughout the course. This was perhaps a bit too much at times and the constant coaching and feedback made me feel a bit too "smothered"

    4/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Too much.

    2/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • We learned several leadership, management and motivational techniques that are very relevant to the workplace. Although some of it was a bit theoretical and superfluous, I am glad I took part.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Very good structure. The course is in an extremely nice place and they literally are throwing money at you.

    5/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Good banter all round.

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

    • A lot of money.

    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?

    • I still have no idea what people at EY actually do. The course didn't have a big focus on EY or working in professional skills, which was a shame.

    1/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • 4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • It was mostly self-development and leadership training, therefore it didn't really help in choosing a career path.

    2/5

    Everything Else

  • 11. Were you paid or reimbursed adequately for this experience?

    • I was reimbursed transport expenses. All accommodation, dinner and 'bevies' were paid for.

  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?

    • Yah we met some senior members of EY and some recent graduates. Listening to both different parties gave a really good insight into how EY worked.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?

    • Social events were quality. The food was a bit dodgy at times, but the after event bar hours made up for it.

    5/5
  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?

    • Yah.

    5/5
  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Definitely. It's great week, it does push you out of your comfort zone. Again I want to reiterate that some of it is a bit too superfluous. It does feel like your back at school. The course part is okay (5/10) but the general atmosphere was brilliant and the other interns were really nice an fun.
