    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • The internship was well structured, with interesting activities, good opportunities to learn and a very entertaining 'fun' side with evening events and social opportunities.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • There was a good deal of individual feedback from both EY team and the organisation as a whole, and I certainly felt valued during the entire program.

    4/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • The guidance was very comprehensive as required, and there would have been a whole lot more available if it was needed.

    4/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The program provided an excellent insight into my own leadership style, my strengths, personality type and how to lead in a corporate session. The guidance was well targeted and very applicable to my personal situation.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • The insight was very well structured, and although it could arguably have been condensed into 3 days rather than 3.5, there were very few other opportunities to improve the structure.

    4/5

  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?
  • The atmosphere was very positive, relaxed but professional and an excellent insight into genuine corporate life (rather than any kind of facade designed to impress).

    4/5

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The firm did not hold back in terms of investing in our development, and provided every opportunity possible to provide space for us to improve over the program.

    4/5

  • 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?
  • The role was designed to provide a leadership coaching program, and whilst there was a role play similar to the work that would be done in a full time role this was not the focus. That being said, there were multiple EY staff from across the organisation available throughout the program who were completely honest and comprehensive in explaining their work lives (and beyond).

    4/5

  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?
  • The insight provided a good implied insight, and in fact provided a much more accurate view into the genuine culture of EY employees, rather than the advertising material generally portrayed.

    4/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • The insight provided an excellent insight into career progression, however I was already set on my career path. Thus as so far as it could, the insight provided a strong insight into my career path.

    4/5

    Everything Else

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


  • 12. Were there opportunities for networking and meeting other employees of the company or firm?
  • The networking opportunities were very strong in terms of relationship depth and variety of experience, although there could perhaps have been more insight from more senior staff members at the Partner dinner.

    3/5

  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
  • The social events were very strong, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    4/5

  • 14. Did you find out about activities that employees can get involved in outside of work?
  • There was lots of opportunity to find out, although I didn't think to cover this personally.

    4/5

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?
  • I would thoroughly recommend this insight to a friend.

    5/5
