  • The salary is good but the train costs are very expensive, so I end up spending about a quarter of my salary on travelling into work. But they do offer you accommodation for you first term.

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • There is very often a social going on, for example urban golf, a boat party and there is always dinners or drinks going on on a friday after work. My team would often go out together for lunch as well, which was a good opportunity to get to know them.

  • 9. Would you recommend EY to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They clearly put a lot of effort into this program. They are obviously growing very fast at the moment and have very big visions for the future. All of the employees are all very helpful and you can see they are all very good at what they do so its a great learning environment.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • Do a lot of research into the company and the industry for the interview and practise a lot of psychiatric tests online as they test you with these online and at the assessment centres and many people find them very hard.
