    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There was a lot going on, but also enough time to take a break; we were busy but never over loaded.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • There were some great opportunities to take the lead, but again, never so much pressure that it was overwhelming.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • What I learnt about myself over the three days will stay with me for life and help me develop my business skills into the future.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The whole experience was well organised so that there wasn't really a dull moment, the 'teaching' sections were interactive, so even the times that some might find less engaging became exciting.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • There wasn't really a moment where I felt like people didn't know what was going on, and the timetable for the course made everything run brilliantly.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • EY showed that they cared about each individual on the course, and not just getting the best people into EY

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • 3/5

    • The experience has given me a desire not just to work in Advisory, but to work for EY.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Everyone got on really well, and the company put a lot of time and effort into helping us all gel.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The course was residential, and EY covered costs.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • The group on the course would tend to spend evenings together, and we all had a great time.

    5/5

    • There were lots of extra activities, socialising etc. going on all the time.
