Analyst Review

Business analyst, no two days are the same, working on companies cash flows, help companies that are in distress sort themselves out and find ways to make them more efficient so they don't go insolvent. speak to partners daily and work with FTSE 100 clients all the time.

excel has been major, i'm now a whiz. personal skills such as personal brand, networking, talking to clients etc. they push you to be your best from the start meaning its a steep learning curve but you look back on how quickly you've progressed in just a few months.

I love EY, there are lots of other grads and school leavers. the culture is very caring and if I ever do get too stressed there's always someone there to talk to and pick you up and work out a plan as to how to succeed. there is a real fun culture, banter flys and people are genrally cheery and supportive. It has far exeeded my expectations.

I feel very valued, senior management let us know that we've done a good job or coach us. we get impact awards if we've done something great. managers are starting to reckognize outside achievements also such as promoting the business.

quite stuctured, you have set times to go to college and study, there is a set progression rate unless you are incredible then you can fast track. You recieve training etc and everything is very fluid and run well as it's a big organisation

not as much as I would like. they teach us the content, then its off you go, I don't really get responses from my tutor and face to face hoursa are going to be cut also so I'm worried about my next set of exams due to this.

you recieve a buddy when you first join. this person is there for any immediate questions like timesheets etc. The next is someone two grades above you, your councillor who represents you at year end and is like your tutor when at school. they are your first port of call if you are having issues with a manager or exams failures etc. Managers are also there for you and EY has a mental health network and other support systems should you not feel like you're able to talk to people in your direct sphere

I live in Zone 3 and my salary happily pays for this, my zone 1-3 travel card, food, active social life etc.

lots. we have networks here that are like societies at uni. you can get involved in anything from Dodgeball to charity treks in the sahara etc. there is a lot of bredth.

Yes

It's a friendly enviroment, lots of perks as it's a big company, a massive chance to progress in your career as the options after working at EY will always be unlimited.

reseach the company, know their values and practise! You'll often be sent example questions or tests so make sure you do those and more so you are fully prepared for each stage.
