  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • During my time at EY I briefly worked in risk advisory and during that time I was just filling in speared sheets and although I learned a lot from my team member. because a lot of the work was confidential I didn't really get in on the action and was left bored a lot as the work proved wasn't challenge or interesting

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I've learned so much from EY for how to present a presentation as well as public speaking and how to write a professional Cv. they even taught the things like how to read a payslip and what it meant. and at the end of our work experience, we had obtained a CMI qualification.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • I've learned so many skill from EY that I still used. A few of the things I enjoy from EY is the company culture and how welcoming and easy going the staff were, also during my time at EY I've made a lot of unlikely friends. One thing I really enjoy was how helpful and understanding everyone was as I was terrified as I had zero business experience before this.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by EY?
  • I felt valued during the training aspect of the experience but the working week I felt invisible as everyone one was busy which is undesirable but we were handed a work at left for the whole day.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • the salary was good but varies from person to person and nobody explained why that was but I did it more so for the experience so it didn't really bother me.

    7/10

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • I've actually recommend it to so many of my friends as I believe I learned so much that I wouldn't have learned to for school or anywhere else for that matter and also I found it gave me clarity, as I know, can say I certainly do not want to go into business no disrespect to the company.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to EY?
  • Be transparent during your interview and enjoying it as much as you can. Also trying to take it seriously and say profession as a lot of the people helping taking time out of their work for this.
