5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

10/10

6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

It is very hard to balance work and studies but we are given plenty of annual leave which we can use to take time off to focus on our studies. The training provider has an abundance of online tools and you can also phone a tutor if you have any specific questions

9/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

Looking at where I am compared to one year ago, when I was only in the process of my first exam, I have a much greater understanding of accounting and my role which makes me perform a lot better at work. I have to ask a lot less questions and it makes me more efficient in producing my work.

10/10

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

There are extra-curricular activities but I feel they could be more advertised as I am not very familiar with them. There are lots of social activities which are always planned and anyone can attend

8/10

9a. Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It is a great opportunity to learn on the job and gain an excellent qualification.

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

Always make sure to be yourself! Interviewers are just people who want to know that you will fit into a team
