  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • There is lots of support available from EY, especially relating to the work. The college side is dependant on how knowledgeable the your team and department is on the ICAS route, but will often go above and beyond to discover the answers.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel like many of the concepts merge with the work for a collaborative learning experience. However, several topics have little to do with my current work - such as certain audit, modelling and financial reporting topics.

  • 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, such as football, however these can often be tailored more towards particular departments - such as the participants of cross-office football events being selected by audit personnel, so other departments often get excluded.
