3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the overall job but the lack of communication and overall organisation of the programme is not as strong as for other programmes such as the graduate programme.

3/10

4. How valued do you feel by EY?

Very valued and lots of trust is given to school leavers

6/10

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Communication overall is not good. Often we do not hear about training events/college dates until the last minute and this is something that we often chase for.

2/10

6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

Often any questions that we have are left unanswered and this is something that the cohort of school leavers as whole sees as a real issue.

2/10

6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

Personally I receive a lot of support however from discussion with other school leavers this is not something which is consistent for everyone.

6/10

7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

I currently live with my parents so currently this is not an issue however if I were to move out this salary would be a real issue and therefore this is something which is prohibiting me from moving out.

5/10

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

There are opportunities out of work but when you're working very long hours these are not things which can be easily attended.

2/10

9. Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Enjoyable programme but the overall lack of co-ordination and planning of the programme ruins the good factors.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?

Be yourself
