  • 4. How valued do you feel by EY?
  • Everyone made me feel extremely welcome. It wasn't fake, it was genuine that they wanted me to feel welcome. Throughout the time I met over 200 people, and they all wanted to know me, and make me feel part of the team. During my time in the corporate tax team, everyone was willing to show me what they did, and offer to help me

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I would have gotten work experience for free, however they did say that you would be paid over £500 for the 3 weeks, which I was. This is a great amount to have for the experience, and also you got £5 everyday for your lunch so you can tell the people in charge had spent a lot of money on each student.

  • If you were a full time employee you can tell there are a lot of events on. As the company has lots of young people, they go out frequently and have sports teams you can join. Events include, sports day, nights out, fun days, charity events. The chartered management area has a chill out space too
