2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have become much more confident in this role, I work with a massive variety of people across different age groups and backgrounds. I have improved my problem solving skills as I am encouraged to create solutions myself to any problems I encounter

9/10

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I enjoy the program and the opportunities it provides to learn however at times it is extremely hard work and it can be difficult to manage work, study and personal commitments alongside each other.

7/10

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The program is well structured and exams are spaced out in a way which gives me time to focus on them or periods where I am more focused on work.

I am supported in my role however I feel I receive more support from my peers than the company itself.

Learning content in college allows me to apply my knowledge in my day to day role. This betters my understanding of the purpose of my work and how to perform it.

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 many committees and networks within the office and we are encouraged to initiate and create any clubs that we feel passionate about.

9a. Would you recommend EY to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

EY has given me the opportunity to develop both my technical skills as well as developing myself and my interpersonal skills all whilst working towards my ACA qualification which is equivalent to a masters degree.

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

You should be yourself and be honest throughout the application process. Do as much research as you can about the day to day work and commitments required as it is a demanding job which requires a lot of hard work but is both personally and academically rewarding.
