I enjoy the ability to learn and gain qualifications at the same time as working on complex projects.
Generally the programme is well structured but there can be miscommunication/lack of from the training provider regarding college dates and information, making it difficult to schedule holidays and prepare in advance.
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.
The support from BPP and especially ICAS can sometimes be limited and unorganized.
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.
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.
Yes
Overall, EY is a great place to work, and to learn many skills as a new entrant into the industry.
Get involved in as many activities as possible to expand on your learning.
